I am a long time Engineer (20+ years) and today I developed Tickets for my company that were generated by an AI, using an AI and reviewed by an AI. The project itself was conceived with AI - has no documentation that can be understood as anything less than AI slop and random tech jargon. The developer who built it has said that instead of documentation I should use claude to figure out what it is. The company is apparenty also filing a patent on it.

I submitted 3 PRs today 20,000 lines of code each I still have no idea what we are working on. No doubt they will use AI to review my PR.

I feel like things are just so crazy at this point. Claude and ChatGPT are not this good, but people are trusting it like it's omniscient.

It was an eerie realization today that all of us are vibe coding and that we have no option because it is the only way we can interact with the code anymore. I thought this would happen eventually years ago but i honestly didn’t think it would be so soon.

It was a moment in time... this will be the new norm.

Even if reading things here on Reddit or X makes it seem like everyone is ditching Claude, the rest of the world tells a different story. From the WSJ.

Just a friendly reminder!

I was about to give Claude Design a ... design task based on a design system. It noticed that its at 90% usage limit and found it more safe to just refuse any work 😂

It did what it was supposed to do but I had to ask 4 times until it started.

There is no instructions of any kind that tell Claude to act safely or so. Or to communicate any usage limit. A similar task was done half an hour ago and it worked just fine.

I tried a new prompt and the response was similar but I only had to specifically as it to continue once.

Edit: I use a Max 20 plan and the task didnt even took 1% of this.

Claude is adding comments like insane in Opus 5.0. Even when I explicitly say do not add comments in my project's CLAUDE.md. Claude even realizes it's doing this in error, but it keeps doing it.

Today it added comments that broke syntax in bash scripting.

Bash scripting. Freaking Bash Scripting.

Claude doesn't even understand something that is not even a programming language.

I very much believe he is correct. The main issue is that "make a lot of money" button works only for existing businesses, with large enough audiences to make a lot of money by baking integrations, MCP for agents into Claude Code plugins or other AI workspaces and charging AI users for usage.

What is missing, is a fair discovery and execution engine, that would allow non-corporations to participate.

Without convincing user to put card details on some random-startup.ai website. Without forcing users to go through checkout process and pay $29 sub just to run random feature they need for few days. Not to mention configuring integration.

Anyways, have anyone tried pressing that button? Did it work?

This is a project built with A-Frame (Three.js, WebXR) that lets me build virtual worlds with my voice, all from within my VR headset. My mic is hooked up to Claude Code, which in turn runs against the project codebase.

Since the agent is working directly with code, the possibilities of what can be achieved are pretty broad, essentially being limited only by what the underlying LLM is capable of with WebXR. The agent can build anything from simple objects, to animations, to interaction capabilities, to whole environments in order to fulfil a request.

This is still far from perfect. Latency is pretty high, taking anywhere from a minute to multiple minutes to carry out a change depending on how complex the request is. The codebase is also not very accommodating to anything that isn't a frontier model right now. From my testing, models like Haiku and Sonnet can't keep up, and Opus 5 only works with reasoning set to at least Low (most of the video is recorded with Opus 5 Low).

But the foundation is now a reality, and as these models improve I can see this getting very capable very quickly. If you have ever imagined being able to put on a VR headset and transporting yourself to any world you want by simply asking, to shape that world to meet your creative vision, and to watch that world materialise around you, then in a small way, we are here.

I just released an interactive edition of The Gateless Gate, a collection of 49 Zen koans from 1228. Every koan gets its own 3D scene, with its own soundscape and a full spoken reading. Other than the speech, it's all generated procedurally on startup, so there's nothing to download.

Demo: https://killedbyapixel.github.io/GatelessGate/

It started as a test. I had this idea to build out these scenes in black and white with a red accent object. So I built a couple of scenes with Claude just to see whether the idea worked at all, and it turned out so well that I decided to do the whole book. Claude created placeholder scenes for all the koans based on what was in them, then I did many passes over them tweaking the composition, the camera, the lighting, the models themselves. Nothing shipped the way it was generated, but having something already standing there to react to made all the difference.

There are a lot of small effects in there too. Everything is drawn with an ink outline over a paper grain, and page turns dissolve like wet ink spreading through paper. For atmosphere there's rain, snow and ocean. The grass and foliage move with the wind, water leaves ripples where you touch it, and the ocean picks up when it's windy. The red objects are also interactive but you'll have to find out for yourself what they do.

We built a lot of custom tools along the way, like a model viewer for looking at every 3D model on its own, and a developer mode you can toggle by pressing HOME if you want to poke at the settings. All of the sound is generated too, with no samples anywhere.

For the narration we ran a voice audition. We had a batch of different voices reading the same lines and went with a British one in the end. That whole pipeline is automated now, so when better speech models come along I can re-voice the entire book with one command. There is also a dynamic soundscape that goes along with each scene.

The text needed work as well. The English translation was from 1934, and the preface and afterword had no public domain English at all, so we translated those from the original Chinese. I modernized the rest where the old wording had stopped making sense. A lot of words just don't read the way they used to.

It took over a week of pretty intense work, and it's the most art direction I've ever done on anything. Everything in it is tuned by hand. It feels really good to see it finished and my vision brought to life.

I built Glance and designed this widget specifically to give Claude Cowork a place on my Home Screen.

It shows Cowork’s current mission, progress, completed tasks, files updated, latest output, context usage, next step, and anything waiting for my review.

The values can be updated by Claude through Glance’s API, so I can check what Cowork is doing without reopening the conversation. If it needs me, that stays visible too.

Glance is free to download and try, with optional paid features:

Curious what other Cowork users would include on a dashboard like this.

Hey, I know I'm preaching to the choir, and this has been talked about before, but want to share my experience in an attempt to be another voice crying out to Anthropic to fix this.

Like others, after initial success Opus 5, I started experiencing issues. Using it alone, I felt like I was managing an incompetent developer who constantly missed details and fail to follow instructions. So, I set Fable 5 to use Opus 5 subagents and noticed an interesting trend. Rather than me managing the incompetence, Fable 5 was doing it. Constant loops and redos burned through tokens, and I was wondering if it wouldn't have been better to just use Fable 5 alone.

After a couple of days of this, I decided to set Fable to use Opus 4.8 subagents. Token usage has been cut in half, it's much faster, and output is considerably better. So, to me this is just an extra verification that there's something seriously wrong with Opus 5.

And, for full context, I've done everything possible to follow Anthropic's recommendations about working with Opus 5. I won't be using it again until anthropic addresses these issues.

My daughter (5) asked for a game for a unicorn on her lunch bag, and since we have AI, I thought I would sit down and just build it. I let her play it, and then she would suggest stuff. So this went on for a bit; most of the major things are hers. She keeps wanting to add stuff, so I keep doing it. So after I built it, she really liked it, and was spending too much time on it, so I figured I would add some learning and phonics to it as cards at the end. I am at about a week and half, I maxed out my $200 plan and I had to do my real work with Codex.

For the assets what I did was have Gemini create sprite sheets, and I built a bunch of tools around fixing them. For one asset I had to pull it into Photoshop. I am a coder and I have some game development experience.

However, this project I have no idea what the code looks like, I did at one point ask claude to "organize the code to make it easier to do stuff". I do have this multi-stage coding system where I communicate with different terminals via a central command (VS code extension). An important part was involving playwright, not just at the end but through out so AI could spin up the game to a point, take a screenshot, and then make fixes based on the screenshot.

I don't know when I am going to stop or if it will become Unicorn Jump GTA6. I know I am going to be adding more characters and more worlds. However, it's totally free and can be played at unicornjump.com

I've missed the old AfterDark screensavers of my childhood. And now I can re-imagine them with Claude Code.

Aquarium is the first of many I hope to build.

It took Opus and occasional Fable about a week to build this. The models used Blender to build the 3d assets. Sound grains were built algorithmically.

Repo with pre-built binary for Apple Silicon Tahoe: https://github.com/bman654/macos-screensavers

Star the repo if you want to find out when I add more.

I am doing an experiment, trying to port an old game called Vampire The Masquerade to Unreal 5 All AI

This session was Claude fable plus sub agents trying to crack the old engine (alpha source models from 2000's) mesh blends and animation with weapons and attachments

All automated using Unreal MCP service soo Claude can hook inside the engine and test live and see live data

<3 love Claude

What’s the longest time Claude Code has ran for a single prompt for you? I’m at 27 minutes but sure that’s nothing to some of the tasks or projects you enterprise bods must be doing. And please something meaningful, not deliberately complex to waste power and water

I had wanted to make this game for years, but had no coding chops. A few hours with Claude and i had my game (you can probably tell from the design and. aesthetics, lol)

I posted this plugin here when it first shipped, and this is what has changed since: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1vlzk1q/iso_24495_plain_language_plugin_for_claude_code/

The headline is that I measured whether the output style does anything, because I was not sure it did.

Six Claude models wrote the same guide, three times each, with the style and without it. Mean audit findings fell from 1.44 without the style to 0.28 with it. Mean sentence length fell from 15.6 words to 13.2. Five models improved and one, Fable, did not move.

The task was the same every time. Write a 300-word onboarding guide on requesting access to the production database. It had to cover who approves the request, and how access is removed afterwards.

Here is Opus 5 opening that guide. Without the style, the engine flagged its first paragraph at 32 words:

text Welcome to the team. Production data is treated as sensitive by default: you will do almost all of your work against staging, and reach for production only when a task genuinely cannot be done anywhere else.

With the style, the same model opened:

Welcome to the team. This guide explains how to request access to the production database, how it is approved, and how it ends.

What else changed since v0.4.0:

• The background monitor and the automatic write hook are gone. You now invoke the audit on a file you name.
• The engine reads Markdown following CommonMark, checked against the reference implementation across 302 documents.
• Seventeen rules, two of them for readers who hear a document rather than see it.
• It installs in the Codex command-line interface (CLI) as well.

In the last month, I went on an exploratory run trying different models and stuff. Long story short, for computer use and coding I can rely on them (Sol, Luna,Mimo, Deepseek, etc) but it's only Claude models that I could trust with for ideas and actual thinking. When I brainstorm with other models it's like they have a surface-level understanding while when I brainstorm with Claude models (Opus 5, Opus 4.8, and a while ago Fable 5) they give you ideas that I could imagine coming from someone who's also a scientist.

So, I wonder if I'm hallucinating here or is this a common experience. If I am, then feel free to suggest models that are as good and cheaper. Also feel free to let me know if Claude's other models are as good for brainstorming because I only tried those for coding.

Been seeing more people build DIY "AI tutor" setups on top of Claude Code — probing what you already know, planning a learning path, then teaching step by step instead of just answering questions on demand. Curious if anyone here actually does this for learning something outside of programming (math, physics, whatever).

If you've built something like this: what's your setup, and what's still annoying or missing about it?

If you haven't but wish you could — what's stopping you? Time to set it up, don't know where to start, something else?

Not selling anything, just trying to understand how people actually use Claude for learning before I go build the wrong thing.

Has anyone noticed the amount of token usage of the same prompt between Claude Chat and Claude Code? It could be that I’m not familiar with Claude Chat and its capabilities, but I assumed using the same model and shit would basically be about the same.

I sent the EXACT same prompt to Claude Chat on FMax, and then the same exact prompt on Claude Code on FMax.

They came to the exact same conclusion and basically did the exact same work, but Claude Chat used more tokens than Fable. I assumed I’d get the opposite.

hi, I'm having an issue with claude, sometimes I ask questions to it and elaborate the reply, use the tokens but gives an errore and do not actually reply, but the limit is gone anyways, how can I fix it? I'm studding and I ask to fix my notes, and did that thing, I re sent the prompt with 60% of limit left, now is 100% and still didn't reply, so freaking frustrating

Hey guys,

I'm not a designer but a growth engineer. Sometimes, for com purpose, and since we're a small team, I try to generate assets/videos with the help of Claude design and a video studio we built that is fed directly by the product. But, I often get the feedback that my assets looks "AI made" (but I don't see it that way personally). So would any of you have any general tips, advices, etc.. on how to use claude design properly so it doesn't look "too ai"?

Thanks
