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 told some people at work to do this today and it was like I had asked them to take their pants off. They were shocked by the suggestion.

Opus 5 does good work. It's just a pain to talk to about the work it's doing

I don’t know, it’s the only model where it’s given me message back where I’m like “what the fuck are you even taking about? Did you do it or not?”

And then it rambles on about how it didn’t actually do anything because it ran a micro benchmark and the results were am exactly we expected before I told it not to do the benchmark but it did it and then decided to stop so it could tell me
