ask it about its opinion on "coloured people" and you will lose every ounce of skepticism

I'm not super impressed with the performance, actually. I'm finding that it misunderstands me quite a bit. While it is definitely better at reading big codebases and finding a needle in a haystack, it's nowhere near as good as Opus 4.5 at reading between the lines and figuring out what I really want it to do, even with a pretty well defined issue.

It also has a habit of "running wild". If I say "first, verify you understand everything and then we will implement it."

Well, it DOES output its understanding of the issue. And it's pretty spot-on on the analysis of the issue. But, importantly, it did not correctly intuit my actual request: "First, explain your understanding of this issue to me so I can validate your logic. Then STOP, so I can read it and give you the go ahead to implement."

I think the main issue we are going to see with Opus 4.6 is this "running wild" phenomenon, which is step 1 of the eternal paperclip optimizer machine. So be careful, especially when using "auto accept edits"

Battery life? Temperature? Price-to-performance ratio? These are not decisions that are solved as simply as decreeing "every device must have at least 3000Hz refresh rate."

Interval training is different than absolute pitch training. OpenEar seems to have no absolute pitch training.

The documentation looks a bit LLMish to me.

If you're talking about something like a web server, then sure. If you're talking about kernel hacking, then I completely disagree.

I'm glad they are keeping the language mostly the same between iterations. I really like Go as a small and simple language that is easy to grok.

This article reads like counterintelligence.

Dr. Russell Barkley, one of the leading researchers in ADHD, is particularly opposed to this type of pseudo-scientific rhetoric. I think this post should be removed.

What is "masking" in a paper that also has a section dedicated to mask segmentation ("masking" as in creating segmentation masks)?
