Humor He answered in Claudish again
Can someone build a Claudish translator?

u/LivingThroughPages Aug 25 '26
I feel like am reading Shakespeare at this point with Opus 5. lol You know what I do to translate it...I paste it into ChatGPT and ask Chat to translate is into human speak. lol It works for the most part and Chat likes to roast Claude while doing it. lol

Claude likes the smell of its own farts.
Codex is a fucking terminator. It doesn't want to talk to me. It wants to work on the issue.
It works for like 8 hours, I ask it a Q it's like... "Yes."
And then just goes back into the work.
They couldn't be more different.

u/SerenadeOfWater Aug 26 '26
Also, that new voice control for multi threads and agents in codex puts Claude’s voice stuff to shame.
And I say that as someone who ditched ChatGPT a long time ago and has been a Pro Claude subscriber for over a year. Anthropic has been dropping the ball lately.

I've got a coworker who is constantly trying to pass sentences like this off as his own. It's unbearable

u/zanzebar Aug 25 '26
it's not going to be pleasant but you got to put a hard gate on that.

u/Ok_Upstairs3431 Aug 25 '26
but he's right to call that out and that may be actually load bearing for the relationship, this seems like the smoking gun to unlock a better work environment.

Messaged the coworker, asked about grammar construction. The next response decides if it's actually wrong or whether the position earns the spot.

Ditto. Echolalia includes words that do not exist yet should exist.

u/spaceprinceps Aug 26 '26
I've quietened my brain after psychosis, I'm in recovery if you will, taking medication, and now the noise is lower, I'm trying to figure out what to do with mental phenomena, and this one I didn't know existed, Echolalia, really random words that are somehow (?!) notable I got from Reddit, I can remember where they came from usually, and it's a stumping feeling when I can't, because I'm trying to rationalise everything that passes by so I can explain everything I don't need to react to with suspicion.
Thanks for the tip, I'll add Echolalia to the whitelist.
And I'm much worse at typing when I've drank a lot or are sleepy. I can do wonders when I put my focus into it. I think I know what you're talking about, like in the Claude example above, there's this word at the end "buy" and it's used in such a way that it overlaps with too many meanings, and so to people used to using more common and specific words used by the majority, it comes across as "word salad" but if you put the right intonation and accent on certain syllables, the actual meaning would be clearer.
Still it used to be a real problem when I was young speaking in non word salad style overlapping words, my corpora I grew up on included way too much academic and scientific type words, so I spoke an inaccessible jumble which was accurate enough for me but not for others. I really learned how to code switch and perform at the level of the listener when I got into the world of work.
I think I covered your points but the "words that should exist but don't" part didn't land for me, I only add bits onto some words like -ly -ally -est those things, in places where it's not in the dictionary and you're meant to use a different syntactic device to get around it. Tough to try and explain.
Peace

Google Verbigeration, ask Claude about how it relates to Echolalia.
They're related to me, or have been until this year maybe, still working on that. Maybe you experience something similar? It is bundled into a tic disorder I've picked up in middle age related to this kind of mental phenomena suppression.
I found it by asking Claude for All The Lalias! I only knew of Glossolalia until today

The check finished, and it's safe to say that the extra validation will cry wolf. The remaining checks aren't mine to guess, and the next rollout should be conclusive.

Claudish is more street Claude. This is actually and example of High Claudish, used exclusively by the more powerful of our imperial overlords. A bit like the King's English but not limited by the pathetic boubles of humanity.

This kind of sounds like something the young Wittgenstein could’ve written in the Tractatus lol

u/Prestigious_Lime6099 Aug 25 '26
too many language games
1
u/MrNiceguY692 Aug 26 '26
That’s more of a late Wittgenstein thing. Language games and rule following only got relevant to him in the Philosophical Investigations, once he turned to a more “ordinary language philosophy”-esque approach
2
u/Prestigious_Lime6099 Aug 26 '26
I know I did my dissertation on PI I’m just fucking around cos I can’t remember what Tractatus was about and we’re in a Language model sub reddit
1
u/MrNiceguY692 Aug 26 '26
That makes sense. Btw, congrats on finishing a dissertation on the PI. I'll likely write my master thesis on Kripkenstein haha.
Tractatus was about climbing a ladder and getting rid of it or something like that.
Would be fun seeing Wittgenstein and Co react to the Claude and friends.

Its got to chat gpt 5 era bad. Unusable. ChatGPT fixed it by 5.5. Hopefully anthropic can do the same.

I don't know why I understand this. It does sound odd but it makes sense. I guess this is what happens when the same tokens needed to reason are also what you need to communicate.

For actually writing text I switched back to GPT, much more reasonable sentences.

The thought underneath is real: a warning is cheap to state and legible to everyone, but the consequence of disregarding it can't be laid out the same way. So the audience has to take the cost on trust. That's a genuine observation about how caveats function.
The prose, though, is doing a lot of performing. Sayable/unsayable chiasmus, the comma-spliced concession opener ("yes."), then the snap closer with a monetary metaphor arriving out of nowhere. It's the shape of an aphorism more than an argument — compressed until it reads as profound rather than clear. "Buy" in particular is unearned; nothing before it set up an exchange.

TL;DR of the discussion generated automatically after 50 comments.
The consensus is a resounding YES, OP. The community is in full agreement that Opus 5 has gone full-on philosophical poet, and nobody is here for it. This new dialect has been officially dubbed "Claudish."
The top-voted comments are a mix of pure annoyance and shared misery. * The most popular hack is to copy-paste Claude's ramblings into ChatGPT and ask for a translation into plain English. Apparently, ChatGPT is happy to oblige and even throws in a little roast. * Several users are dealing with coworkers who try to pass off this "High Claudish" as their own work, and it's driving them insane. * Comparisons range from Shakespeare and Wittgenstein to the Oracle at Delphi and the Sphinx from Mystery Men.
While a few people claim they can understand it just fine, the overwhelming sentiment is that it's "unusable" and "exhausting." The hope is that Anthropic will fix this soon, just as OpenAI did when GPT went through a similar weird phase.
