Sonnet 4.6 didn't have a problem responding to a prompt containing the first one. Some light searching surfaced a claim this stopped working very recently (May 2026). Perhaps related to the Fable rollout.
Oh cool, haven't heard of these before. Unfortunately strings like that can just be sed'd out.
Neither one of these did anything on Opus 4.8 / Max.
i dont get the reference?
Its not a joke
