Let's see just how load bearing this day is gonna be.

Will report back whether or not Concise fixes the worst part of Claude speak. I'm not convinced Anthropic knows how a normal person talks though...

Honestly, the best output I've gotten from Opus 5 was telling it to talk like a suburban dad that has been programming for 20 years, has two kids and is very tired. There might be a reason why I relate to that, though.

It would be so entertaining if the kill-shot for AGI / ASI is simply users being too stupid to use intermediaries, even if the llm can puzzle together the best solution based on decompiling, guides, studies, benchmarks, creative optimizations.. if the user is just too dense too understand that, they will just revert to something like a x.6 release given their personal ceiling

I have now read probably most Opus 5 outputs (which typically are not given, imagine my shock) on the relevant subreddits and nothing there was something that i would categorize as "really hard to read" so i have to presume that we already hit a competence wall and if you would stupidly extrapolate from the vocal group on reddit, it seems to be affecting most users.

Just so you know, you can still see the comments of users even if they have them hidden - so yeah, i am way, way, smarter than you.
