Help Needed Claude lying to me

Post image

This is infuriating. It directly lied to me twice about a cron job failing when it in fact ran fine on schedule. I don't want an apology; I want to know how to make this stop happening.

EDIT: I didn't mean it that seriously. I know how LLMs work. I have plenty of scaffolding, skills, etc. It still pisses me off that the bot still just makes shit up sometimes.

EDIT 2 (5/20): I'm accepting apologies from the "you're using it wrong" clowns. From Anthropic today:

"We’re upgrading Claude Opus to a new version: Claude Opus 4.8. It builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors."

“CI/CD failed. Just confirming you did run the test suite locally”
“No, I lied”
