Maybe you're holding it wrong because it's the same architecture between the models, assuming you're using the dense 27B model in both cases. And 3.8 is a significant improvement on 3.6.

Nothing is getting completed at 100x the speed and quality. We have to sit and read these LLM outputs 8 hours a day. The UX of reading the outputs matters a lot.

Gross take.

It's slop.

It's negatively affecting my mental health too, and I'm considering the same switch for the same reasons.

We should push back on this rubbish.

Qwen3.8-27B has been the turning point for me. It's not as strong as the absolute frontier, but it's the first time I feel local coding models are actually functionally useable as daily drivers.

It's genuinely dirt poor at reading the room. It will happily produce text that inserts things like "disposition 7" without first establishing what that even refers to in the text.

I don't know about the author but for me it's actually starting to induce enough stress that it's starting to negatively affect me. I think that qualifies as toxic. I actively feel like I need this gone from my life at this p

It has gotten to the point where I'm now having to add a linter into our codebase to keep Claudism's out of it because there's literally hundreds of instances of "load-bearing" that have crept into the codebase, and

I'm feeling this too. Like how many times in a day do I have to see "that changes what I told you earlier" before I just want to put this thing in the trash and forget about it.

I frequently find myself yelling out loud in frustration "speak fucking English Claude!" followed by asking to rewrite it ASD STE100 Simplified Technical English. It's gotten to the point where it's inducing burnout and

I did a grep for load-bearing in our codebase and it now appears hundreds of times. I'm actively starting to hate Opus because of this shite. It's just infuriating to read now.

Ever built something and felt proud of it? Like 'that was cool' or 'that was neat'. It's like a never ending source of that feeling. Most things you do in life just don't last that long, but raising kids lasts

Tbh if the AI just followed the prompt to not add the comments, that'd be sufficient. It feels maddening and burnout inducing to tell it not to only to have it ignore that and you deal with the same problem every time without things me

I asked it to make an animated svg of a pelican doing tricks on a bmx bike and it did. I then asked it to turn that into a browser game. This model fucks.

> I'm not ready to blame Opus 5 for being stupid. Perhaps we have a prompt buried somewhere that's essentially asking it to be pedantic, and it's just obeying the prompt. This is a known failure mode. Sadly, working on a s

And you can't think of a way to bring an engineers mindset to solve that? If you leave it up to raw LLM outputs you're not going to get the results you're after. If you put on your engineering hat and think about your problem

Agents are also controllable to a degree. How agents author PRs is now an engineering problem.

If you want the guns, then yes. I come from somewhere without guns, and as a result without school shootings. Nobody here wants guns as a part of everyday life. America seems to want them.

> No it doesn't Yes it does. If you're of the mindset that drives one to build a nanny state that is. My assumption is the mindset is that any amount of CSA is completely intolerable and that we must try to reach zero cases and

I think if you were able to get accurate statistics on rates of sexual abuse for the last few thousand years you'd find there's a baseline that we don't seem to ever learn to do better than.

Well I remember starting to watch it from about 11 years old and now at 38 I can thoroughly said it did some pretty bad damage.

I'd prefer to just accept the reality is it fails sometimes and not try to get a 100% foolproof solution. That lies the way of madness.
