I have no idea what any of that means. It's "explaining" like I already know, in which case, why would I even need the explanation?
I can't stand how it talks, I switch back to Fable or Opus 4.8, Opus 5 grates.
- Retr0id 2mo agoI assume it's deliberate - you're not supposed to know what it's doing. It's a black box that either completes the task or spins forever trying.
- ykonstant 2mo agoLOL, is it trying to speak in Haikus?
- stavros 2mo agoThat's definitely what it feels like.
- goosejuice 2mo agoA few generations from now, everyone will talk like a beat poet. Jazz speak.
- speed_spread 2mo agoPain. Sufferance. Inevitable is, the Yodaization of LLM output.
- sgt 2mo agoSpike. Applied it has been.
- andsoitis 2mo agoThink of these status updates as progress spinners.
- ssweber 2mo agoI agree. I was completely sold on Claude models for a year. 4.6 vs OpenAI codex in same period? It was night and day. Opus I could talk to about api design, tradeoffs, etc. codex was mechanical, used “load bearing” constantly, and unsettling brief. Now it’s flipped. Sol emits thoughts as it works, which help as I’m scrolling through and see it’s made a bad assumption. It can be directed but still push back. Opus? It’s seems to inherit the unsettling silence of Fable and waits till the end to give you its authoritative “here’s how it is. I even end up having 4.6 “translate” what it says back to English. I hate having to instruct an llm to “talk to me”. Yes there’s ways of getting it to talk more plainly, “don’t overwhelm me”, not be as nit picky and anxious “we are bold and fearless”. But didn’t have to do that before.
