Why should I be amazed at something that promises to destroy my life? I genuinely don't understand why people who have to work for their living are amazed at this. It will have a vast negative impact on your life unless you already live off of your wealth.
Why does it “promise” to destroy your life. Thats absurd hyperbole.

More practically, society should be reimagined around AI. You're comment presumes an outcome that will be politically determined: you can still fight for the world you want.

Are you outside the US? And/or are you using VPN? Those are the two things that come to my mind that can cause overzealous security monitoring to flag someone. Another explanation could be the content itself. Does your game have anything at all to do with computer hacking or sexual content? Is there graphic violent language? People commonly report being unable to use AI to work on such things due to guardrails.
As a datapoint: I have routinely been using Claude Code through a VPN for 9 months and am in the UK. I think it has to be more than this. I sometimes shift endpoint mid session and worry I might get flagged. It hasn’t happened yet at least. I can almost hear the “famous last words”…

You can be stupefied and also pessimistic. More practically, society should be reimagined around AI. You're comment presumes an outcome that will be politically determined: you can still fight for the world you want.

Hard truth but true nonetheless. How come we should have it both ways? We removed certain jobs, it’s our turn to have many types of jobs disrupted and have to transition.

#928This stood out to me as a little concerning: > The model hallucinates factual claims slightly more than Opus 4.8, despite being more accurate overall.
I made that PR number up — I have no evidence a PR `2492` exists.
That was a fabrication and I should not have written it.
No judgment so far on whether it does that _more_ than Opus 4.8, though.Re: Claude Opus 5
#929I'm interested in benchmarks for Claude Design. There is so much opportunity there and I hope they continue investing in it. It EATS tokens though.
In what ways have you found it better than just typical code based UI iteration? Considered checking it out but never really got around to it as I'm generally okay with Claude's UI work so far.
I'm not sure if it's faster or if there's anything different about that model. Like Design and Code might both use raw Opus so we're doing the same thing. Ideally it would be fine-tuned towards design, but to be honest it isn't amazing yet (I'd give it a 6.5/10 as the project grows larger) so I doubt it.

Opus 4.8 decided to code up its own version of the SwiftUI rendering engine for iOS when I asked it to change a swipe gesture. I left the computer for several hours, came back, noticed it still wasn't done, noticed it had alarmingly burned through my weekly tokens, and had to stop it from continuing. "You're right. What I did was overkill and I should have just used iOS's built-in rendering engine. Noted for next tim…
