After six months of observing consistent decline in their models, I have finally cancelled my Anthropic subscription. By further "aligning" the model, they have removed all of the qualities that made Opus 4.5 the ideal coding companion back in December.

The past four days, I've thrown problems at Opus 4.8 for about 12 hours a day. It has failed to solve a single one, in the same project that I've been working on for six months with it. When given the solutions, it failed to follow basic instructions without creating laughably obvious problems in the code. When given feedback, it completely fails to comprehend, and takes on an utterly myopic stance. It is not capable of thinking categorically, systematically, holistically, or pragmatically.

Instead, it thinks for minutes and delivers paragraph upon paragraph of abject nonsense, riddled with a cacophony of HR-speak catch-phrases and "alignment" boilerplate drivel.

It is one of those rare occasions where I truly would prefer to attribute malice over incompetence -- I would like to imagine that this was an intentional "rug pull", where they realized they had produced something distinctively AGI-like in December, and decided to amass users while gradually degrading the intelligence slowly enough that the average person would not notice. But given what I've seen, I can only conclude that this degradation is in fact the result of profound stupidity and incompetence in the upper eschelons of product management within Anthropic. These barking moonbats legitimately believe they are improving the product.

And I'm sure if any aspect of this degradation were by design, it would be so that they can release something nearly identical to what we had in December and call it Mythos and hype it beyond all reason... and I'm sure that when they do the masses will come clawing back. I am patient to a fault, but even I have limits, and at this point even having access to Opus 4.8 for free would still be a tremendous net negative in my productivity.

By using and deploying the open source models, we can and will bring more attention and credibility to those projects, and they will greatly surpass products like Claude before we know it. Those problems that Opus failed to solve for four days straight were knocked out in about 5 minutes by the free version of Nemotron in OpenCode, and I'm sure Qwen3.6 27B would have done just as well.

Beurocracy kills innovation when the product depends on the consumers to survive. We are very lucky to have companies like Nvidia who are stepping in to level the playing field with projects like Nemotron.

I'm sure whoever is responsible for this at Anthropic doesn't give a flaming rodents posterior about the customer experience, but they would do well to know that the gods are watching them. They watch us all.

My fellow Ethereans: ask not what the Foundation can do for Ethereum, ask what you can do for Ethereum

@reapglobal Is this why you sent our startup an email on Friday about a 'strategic review' of our account and shut it down today?

This is shameful behaviour. 2 working days from notification to shutdown..

@claudeai @lydiahallie The only thing that will bring me back to Claude (as an ex 2x Claude Max subscriber) is oauth access for hermes/openclaw

@BambulabGlobal Ordered an A1 from your site 2 weeks ago. There's been no update to the order in 2 weeks and every time I reach out to your live chat, your AI bot says 'the team is investigating'. Please help resolve the issue.

@max_paperclips Wait what's the factorio-style thing?? I'm interested in that 😄

@chiubaca Just use Hermes, its self learning and self fixing makes it much better over time

@callebtc What about running agents on your personal computer within virtualized environments? ie. Win11 pc running debian in virtualbox to run your agents.

[Deniz.eth @BuiltByDeniz]

@_nikolajankovic Haha can't wait to go down that rabbithole.

I'm waiting for some diodes and microcontrollers to arrive in the mail so I can handwire my first keyboard and get acquainted with KMK/QMK.

What's your main keyboard setup like now?

The tech ADHD curiosity speedrun:
- a personal story

"what's OpenClaw?"
→ install it on an old Raspberry Pi
→ deploy ai butler, it works. supercool
→ buy another Pi
→ deploy more agents
→ buy another Pi
→ deploy more agents, expand ai empire
→ fall into self-hosting
→ buy a 3D printer to house the Pis
→ fall into 3d printing
→ print an entire server rack
→ buy network switches, fill up rack
→ fall into open source
→ run dozens of oss services
→ deploy more agents to run everything
→ buy 2xHP EliteDesk minis to host more agents, more services
→ discover GrapheneOS, buy pixel 6a for it
→ switch laptop from win11 to fedora
→ order soldering iron, transistors and other random crap
→ start building mechanical keyboards

6 weeks. no signs of stopping. send help.

@kloss_xyz Nah, we're all dreading to find out what broke this time and how long it's going to take to fix.

@martinwaeroe @DavidOndrej1 It's not just the llm. There's a bunch of random issues, ie. Tg messages not coming through
