Yea, i still deal with a ton of code in AI heavy workflows. If anything the frustrating part is absorbing the code quickly enough. AI (Claude for me) writes in cryptic text and the code flows can often be non-obvious. I need (and am explori

I wouldn't mind it either. But the prose is obtuse atm. It doesn't feel like a writing style, it feels like an encryption.

And word on Opus 5.1 for writing style? I am on the edge of switching to OpenAI due to this horrid writing style. If Fable is better, great - but i can't even use that at work.

The sad thing is that may not be true. If you use LLMs to write docs and actually read it, you can spend far longer trying to convince the LLM to write in a sane way than to just write it yourself. Semi related, but i've caught myself

Now that the public anger is growing i really hope Anthropics next models seriously address this. Or for that matter, i hope everyone (OpenAI/etc) starts focusing on this too. Intelligence is important but it feels as if the LLM is onl

Those "present state" comments are the bane of my existence. It was present in 4.7/etc but i put in a ton of guards against that into my global memory and it worked quite well. Fable and Opus 5 regressed badly in this space t

It's such a great example. It writes so well compared to Claude. I'd love to know what the hell Antrhopic has done to make Claude's writing so, so bad.

I'm on my last straw with them. I've been around for a year now and for many months i've just stuck with Claude because it was plenty good and i didn't care to provider-hop to constantly compare. Previously though my UX

Stop, what, exactly? This is simply a new tool, not an AI girlfriend. We've had ML based autocomplete for 10 years now, why is it suddenly a new chicken-little for ya'll?

by unshavedyak 3mo ago
Yup, or we'll find out there's nothing to fear for folks who are using this responsibly. It seems a huge "the sky is falling" to think all LLM use is bad for fear of some "addiction" to me. Even many skeptics (

Huh, don't think i had any of those. Though arguably i had "Lack of focus", difficult to say how much is due to the lack of caffeine or due to undiagnosed ADHD though. Generally i felt fine. I'll keep it in mind, thanks

Huh, i should look at this. I've been an aggressive drinker for most of my adult life (2 pots a day at my height) , but for kicks i decided to cut all caffeine for about 9 months. No real issues aside from very short term headaches, t

I'm tempted to try it out. I'm not keep to move but Fable rejected some work i was working on recently and frankly it's infuriating lol. I've been on Claude x20 for like 8 months now and now i'm tempted to switch ou

It's a lossy conversion though. "Mistake" is relative to the stated goals and specifications which are often heavily lacking. So unless you write with a high degree of architectural and implementation specificity then it migh

So i agree with you, but there's no SOTA model that i don't have to babysit. I'm not going to just throw a large pile of code in there unreviewed, and so what i want is faster iteration on code in logical, reviewable chunks.

I mean for many of us this doesn’t even increase the cynicism. Ie it can’t get worse. These AI labs are already believed to be shifting behavior of these models at runtime so you never really know what you’re getting. Stability is not a thi

Yea, i'm on x20 and while it has been up and down in terms of token-usage-UX, i feel like its the best its ever been. Context: I entirely use Opus 4.8 fwiw. Now is that because 4.8 is nerfed compared to 4.6 and thus more token efficien

It's honestly kinda interesting. Now we're at a point where SOTA model companies aren't the ones who release the best tech, but who release the best and actually usable tech. A worse product could win right now if it simply d
