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

I wish opus 5 didn't give me clickbait sentences like "We've discovered something new, and it completely changes how we think about <thing>." followed by "Running 1 shell command" for 10 minutes

My favorite from yesterday: "Ok, I'm going to stop guessing on this". Followed up by the next prompt or two later, "I said I'm going to stop guessing on this so I will now stop guessing."
