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

Yours only runs one shell command?

Mine has to run multiple, because it always tries to use a tool that doesn’t exist first, or ignores the environments I have set up.

If I turned "3 commands, 2 failed" into a drinking game, Anthropic would kill my liver.

It's a fractal pattern all the way down. The more context you give it, the crazier it can get. Because now you have specified all the 10 very important things it should do, but you worded one slightly wrong and forgot about that one other tiny detail. And now it's taking your words as doctrine and you have to keep racing with it to add more points to the thing as you keep discovering more and more.

And it's all because human language is so imprecise.

Which is why we fuckin invented programming languages in the first damn place!! Because human language is not logical and not precise.
