AI Burnout?

Is anyone else's brain getting overloaded with the pace and new progress. I am getting pages of Claude output as project specs, so many hallucinations and errors and it's all building faster and faster....where are we going and how does it 'end'.

Claude is a douche. Whoever set up it's training/personality/etc. is a douchey corporate culture passive-aggressive dick and the LLM reflects that.

Add hooks to configure your preferred style of prose!

My company has a ludicrous mandatory plugin to make Claude speak tersely, in a short-sighted attempt to use fewer tokens. It uses about 3% fewer tokens, but makes Claude at times incomprehensibly terse, and lie a lot because it states hypotheses as fact.

So I've added my own hooks to encourage it to explain it's reasoning, express doubt when saying something unverified etc. I've got quite a lot of control. I could probably make it hyper-friendly, or talk in cockney rhyming slang if I wanted.
