A million times this. Can we please RL the next models to learn the “if I had more time I would’ve written a shorter letter” method please.

I see it every day in tickets, many communication channels, PR descriptions, comments, documentation. All have at least 70% verbose fluff which is so taxing and makes it very hard to keep track of the one important thing they’re trying to communicate in the message

It's not just the length, but the ramp. You have 50 words to hook me onto the next 100, which hook me on to the next 150. If you're going to go beyond 300 words, it'd goddamned better be something that I am electing into, not something I'm required to get to whatever is your point. If it's obviously TLDR, I prompt Claude to summarize a paste of the post with the same framing: 50, +100, +150, and beyond only if absolutely necessary.
