#3I've noticed something else - as Anthropic models get even more and more superhuman, they seem to serve me more and more casual nonsense.
Not like adding glue to pizza. Here's an example from today (paraphrasing): "you need to run `git merge-base branch1 branch2`. Pay attention to the order of arguments, it is important: `git merge-base` is symmetric and returns the same value regardless of the order of inputs".
So which one is it? Symmetric or not? It's not even one of those where it self-corrects, it just happily contradicts itself halfway through the sentence.
My pet theory is that these frontier models do quite a bit of brute force at the end - some kind of beam search - and silently downgrade you depending on demand or compute availability.
Still not great. This particular nugget is from Sonnet 5, default settings.

#6Claude decided to take an extra day off, after going on vacation yesterday [0] and when Codex went and took a longer break the day before that.
No wonder the amount of water that both Claude and Codex are taking they also need so many frequent hydration breaks.

I also see stuff like this with Opus (4.8 and 5). It does the work correctly but then the explanation or "aftermath" description is kinda nonsense. It feels like they are tuned hard for agentic coding and everything else is getting worse. There are people that say older versions are also better for creative writing which would confirm this theory.

Can we not do the "AI is drinking all the water" bullshit at least on HN?

> they are tuned hard for agentic coding
Well you can't blame them, it's what brings in the cash. Other uses will suffer proportionally.
