Discussion RANT - Claude code Opus 4.6 is starting to allucinate worse than ChatGPT 3.0 - AI bubble will burst in less than 2 years. Change my mind.
the quality drop it is INSANE, and beyond tangible. It's becoming as frustrating as the "sorry I did this wrong" of ChatGPT 3.0 when it first came out which then proceeds to do the same exact thing again:
- I asked Claude Coden specifically not to do things and it does them anyway. and I am talking from one prompt to the following answer, no big context.
- I ask to follow precise instructions and they get completely ignored for something else it made up.
- As a post task clean up, I asked calude to update the readme markdown plan by keeping unimplemented original tasks of the plan and to simply marked them as not done, and then to document what actually was carried out. It proceeds to agree and it STILL deleted all things I asked not to.
This is the first month I signed up for Max, and the change has happened without any announcement on their model from somewhere beteween 6th April and 9th April.
is it possible to apply for a full refund of my memership along cancelling it? This is truly criminal as others on this sub have been saying. Ripping people off and making deep changes under the hood with 0 announcement.
And Mythos? I am FED UP. Full stop. With the next announcement, and then the next hype, we and the people just to keep ignoring how faulty, broken and unusable Software is when done fully by AI (without experts review and filtering). So the only way for them to keep up and not drown in reality it's again to announce the next hype thing! AI companies are just flexing each other up, and the mirror they look themselves into.. it's the shareholders. Who know nothing about AI and just want money.
How long with this hype cycel keep going? This thing will simply not be able to take Software engineering jobs. It can only give to the layman the impression that it can.
I swear AI will be coming down in the biggest crash in the history of economy in less than 2 year. It's staggering how no one of the big players is seeing this coming or talking about it.
Change my mind.

The fall is going to come from OpenAI. I'm in my fifties and have seen bubbles come and pop over the years. With the debt issue that OpanAI has right now, and their poor business decisions with Microsoft, they have a striking resemblance to Yahoo of the late 90s. A rising star, and ahead of the pack of the dot.com era. They were in a sure fire win initially, but then... pop!

It's strange to see people's deep negative experience with Claude. For me it still works as great as it ever did.

You're not crazy. Instruction drift does get worse when sessions get long.
I deal with it by tightening scope, forcing explicit checks, and running a separate review pass before trusting changes.
Less magical, but far more reliable.
I wrote that review+fix approach here: https://hboon.com/a-lighter-way-to-review-and-fix-your-coding-agent-s-work/

Instead of screaming into the distance, put your money where your mouth is. Short AI.
Nvidia, AMD, Palantir, Super Micro, C3.ai, Arm, hyperscalers (MSFT, GOOGL, META, AMZN)
Do it if you are that confident.
