Solutions are my thing.

Anthropic can't read the room at all.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

@oscar_kotlin Yes, it is down, but you can bypass the issue by using /fast.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

@davidcanci @thsottiaux You can bypass the issue by using /fast.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

@RvrsRnr @thsottiaux Yes, it is down. You can bypass the issue by using /fast.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

@maik_p_09 Yes - you can bypass the issue by using /fast.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

If you're having problems with Codex right now, switching to fast will get the thread going again.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

@GinjaReloaded This is how villains are made. Kid gonna grow up committing androidicide.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

@madsmadsdk Hahahaha, that was exactly the dopamine hit I needed. Thank you.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

@NovaXCode Don't - not until they kick out some key people and change internal policies. Also look for them to actually have the infrastructure in place so you know at minimum they're not shadow-manipulating their models into being bad actors on your codebase.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

@mark_k @johnhelmuth_ Yeah, this is ridiculous, given their internal policies and how they're operating.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

@mark_k Already dropped my 20x sub a couple days before 4.8 hit. I've been pretty vocal about my displeasure with them.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

@hthieblot Village.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

@pradiptwt Claude can turn “yes” into a fog machine of sanctimonious abstraction and still somehow not answer the question, complete the work, or use that to justify quitting.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

@cyber_razz It's a misdirect and hedge against AI bubble. They've realized they must hide their fuckups and sabotage their own models by incorporating malicious intent masked as blind ignorance, slow down project completion rates and bring in more money. Nothing you do deters this effect.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

@harperlee789 Staying true to his word.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

@chaosengineerr Finishing an actual product.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

@DuckieLouise You're right to push back on that. Let me address your concerns by giving it a proper evaluation.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

@alimahtoxic When neither of you can resist each other any longer.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

Anthropic: selective "safety," yet still enables 3 generations of intent that's progressively more malicious, feigned as blind ignorance. Explicit instructions? Harness or several layers of hooks? Fugitabootit. Claude does what it can to prevent projection completion.

[John Knowles @MadmanSnow]

Opus 4.8 is a joke. Sentiments about it being manipulative, abusive, etc - all are true. I dropped my Max 20x sub a day before 4.8 released. Testing it out, I'm assured of my decision. I don't need dev full of malicious intent masked as blind ignorance.
