> I have multiple long sessions with opus (not as many with fable as it got taken down quickly) where it keeps fighting me on problems, sayings "that's not how it works" / "that is not possible", followed by me linking the paper (after i've told it to actually read up on the latest research in this field), and it hits me with the usual "You were right.".

I genuinely do not understand why people not only just put up with this but also pay _a lot of money_ for the _privilege_ of doing so.

It's like having _the worst_ colleague but you actually go out of your way to talk with the guy. Why.

I agree 100%. All of the models do it to some extent after the context gets tired, but opus is the worst and the sneakiest. And even when you do coerce it into doing what you want it feels like something out of r/maliciouscompliance. Much more so than most non-anthropic models. Way more so than codex/gpt or even gemini.

also thanks for my l10spuh :)
