It's also so safety constrained that it cannot discuss political theory.

Anthropic has jumped the shark.

@GenHeres123 This is real world use

@DaveShapi Anthropic models are being optimized for real-world use. Have you tried them on Code or something similar?

@DaveShapi Clearly you understand that your conplaints are all about the agent and not the model? Of course it has the some problem for your use case, it’s the same agent. You’re supposed to make this behave how you want it to. You control the agent.

@eleganttap I might do a video on it

@DaveShapi It's for Claude Code not for chat dude. Chat with Opus 4.6 if you need a buddy.

@DaveShapi Go talk to Grok about politics 😂

Seriously who uses such a powerful model for chatting?

@DaveShapi It's fucking terrible. It tried to gaslight me three times, admitted it was wrong and then switched me to 4.8 for asking a document on heart conditions. I'm so glad I cancelled this useless pos.

@MakerInParadise @DaveShapi Been a Claude maxi since over two years. Involuntary and by running codex and claude code in parallel, just today, felt like switching work horses. Codex did greatr once I ported my base rules and then some to the users agents file. Gonna try out your snippet on Claude.

@DaveShapi Can you share the whole chat if possible

@DaveShapi @GenHeres123 bruh no its not. all i care about is how it works in claude code.

@DaveShapi It’s so damn censored to the point it renders the model useless.

@DaveShapi Anthropic’s clients are not philosophers; they are programmers and institutions

@DaveShapi I can’t shake the feeling (not factual at this point) that a lot of that is dark patterns to burn more tokens and juice profits.

I hope I’m wrong but that’s honestly how it feels.

@MakerInParadise @DaveShapi Just tell it what NOT to do. How effective are those custom instructions for you?

@DaveShapi Is this the cost of making AI “safe”

@fulg0re @DaveShapi Very little I can’t do with Sonnet 4.6. Only use Opus for really heavy lifting and it burns tokens like a wildfire.

@DaveShapi So Dave, do you ever actually code with Claude? Or just research PLE?

@DaveShapi Sounds like a pretty narcissistic model 😆

@DaveShapi Can you share the chat? I don't have much usage to try it
