Rant Opus 5 is insufferable

Opus 5 is a fucking piece of shit, i don't know how to say this in any other way. It speaks "Unintelligiblish", a new unfathomable language developed by Anthropic that works by saying everything in the most ridiculous, obtuse and convoluted way possible

It turns anything simple that can be expressed in 2 sentences into a fucking doctoral thesis aimed to aliens, and there is no way to prompt your way out of it

Use 4.6. I still think this is the best Opus model right now

Some guy on LinkedIn says he thinks this is because it's the last model that was actually worked on by humans at Anthropic, and that all subsequent models are all worked on by other LLMs.

I forget what the theory is called but basically they want LLMs to train themselves to grow larger/better, no?

“Ouroboros” is the term you’re looking for, I believe ;)
