That went into effect a month ago. Claude prose quality has been a disaster at least since Opus 4.7

That makes no sense. Watermarking only became a thing in the past month. Claude has been spewing unreadable slop for much longer than that.

ChatGpt/Codex is nowhere near the level of sloppy vomit that Claude generates, so that theory doesnt really hold up.

Claude writing quality got unbelievably bad with Opus 4.7, with no improvement in Fable. Opus 4.6 was fine. Im starting to see it as a security risk - my brain just can't process its word vomit, so just tell it to go on, implement whatever

You can tell Opus 5 or Fable to route answers through 4.6 for rewrite

Telling Opus 5 or Fable to route answers through Opus 4.6 usually works pretty well. 4.7 really was the version where the writing style became horrible. I also have a Codex subscription in addition to to Claude 20x, that i use mainly for rewrites of Claude doc vonit and explaining Claude's plans

F80 would have been the perfect autofocus film camera if only it could meter and stop down manual lenses. F100 is just too heavy

Want the best software for editing photos? No thanks, I'd rather use inferior open source solutions. Go Gimp

I have added a skill to make Opus 4.8 use Opus 4 6 to translate its answers into teadable English, sine it had much higher quality prose. Im seriously considering switching from Claude 20x to Codex because I just cant read more of of Opus or Fable's walls of text

Adobe

A lot of bitching about Microsoft here, for something Claude has been doing forever. I have a git hook that rejects any commit containing the line Co-authored by Claude

If Frank Sinatra had Ai he woulnt have had to perform any of that slop by Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Kurt Weill, Rodgers & Hammerstein and other composers no one cares about

Blender's limited support for the Universal Scene Description format is an immediate showstopper for most medium size to large studios.

There are far less working VistaVision cameras than 70mm. It wasnt used at all, or just for shooting vfx, for 50 years until recently
