Opus has been utter garbage for the last one month or so.

I’ve definitely been more annoyed with it recently. I never had to curse at it because it was taking the lazy way out before.

Oh, let me just fix that!

OH MY GOD YES! I actually had it inject synthetic data into my experiments! I had to go back through all my work and re-validate so much to make sure I found all instances of it (it happened in a few different projects).

I now have a system of automated tripwires on all experimental scripts that notifies me and terminates the experiment when any sort of statistical irregularity is detected.

When it happens, I stop it and tell that we aren’t working for one of the IT consulting companies I hate, and a "you are absolutely right" later we are back on track.
