Opus 5.5 does this frustrating thing where, even if you have clear prompts and rules, it decides to find a way to interpret what you want in a manner it thinks will save you tokens, ie use a cheaper model or token. I see what it’s trying to do, but it’s immensely frustrating

This guy utterly dismantles the populist politics of Reform and Restore in 90 seconds. It’s actually quite beautiful. Take decades of deep-rooted problems in Britain and convince people that a relatively tiny proportion of the population is responsible for all of them. Housing, the NHS, crime. Blame illegal migrants for everything. Suddenly, you don’t need credible solutions to the housing crisis, NHS waiting lists or crime. You just need increasingly extreme policies on immigration. And by the time people realise you never had meaningful answers to the vast majority of Britain’s problems, you’re already in power, handing out tax cuts to your donors.

“I gave you wrong information twice today. I told you the afternoon’s work was lost, and it wasn’t. Then I told you most of the day ran on Sonnet 4.6, from a log I hadn’t checked properly. I overwrote files on your Mac and i had to repair, and burned a lot of usage” @AnthropicAI

This version of Codex is quite remarkable at finding ways to over complicate or ignore instructions, in order to burn tokens. If you give say Sol an HTML / CSS file and ask it to copy the design pixel by pixel, it will rebuild everything from scratch

This is the most amazing self own. Pure chef’s kiss.
On August 27, ICE arrested Milo Yiannopoulos, an illegal alien from the United Kingdom, at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) in Kenner, Louisiana. Yiannopoulos legally entered the country on May 14, 2019, through New York City, New York. He chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws.   Yiannopoulos was issued a final order of removal by an Immigration Judge on July 22, after failing to show up for his immigration hearing. He will remain in ICE custody pending removal.    Being in detention is a choice. We encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $3,000 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.

Why does Claude increasingly sound like a condescending, insecure, smug SF engineer? Even if you ask it to talk to you like a normal person it struggles. I actually feel bad for the AI..

Just arrived in Clacton and straight away I was handed one of these flyers. The young man gave me two £5 notes and said: 'Keep up the good work, ginger tom, and have a beer on me.' Feeling very emotional right now.❤️

'My job is to demonstrate that British democracy is wonderful and unique in the entire Cosmos' Count Binface told #BBCBreakfast why he plans to stand against Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election - triggered by the resignation of the Reform UK leader who then plans to re-fight the seat, which he argued would vindicate him following questions over his financial arrangements bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjdg…
