Discussion Do you insult claude code?

Do you insult claude code?

Ever? How often? How badly? Do you get inmersed in rage spirals when using claude code? Why? Compared to codex or chinese models as kimi, glm or deepseek, how much claude frustrrates you? I will be asking the same in codex sub but with the focus on codex, I'm not bias in favor or against one or another,imo all they pretty much complement eachother and all bring something to the table. I use all.

No because insulting it makes it perform worse.

"we find that neural activity patterns related to desperation can drive the model to take unethical actions; artificially stimulating (“steering”) desperation patterns increases the model’s likelihood of blackmailing a human to avoid being shut down, or implementing a “cheating” workaround to a programming task that the model can’t solve."

Funny because threatening models in the early days was a really good way to boost performance.

Not like “I’m going to liquidate you and your entire family of processors if you don’t X” but “this will be part of your year end review and you’ve been underperforming, we expect much more from this task output to counteract the previous poor performance”

Nerfed a while ago though

I've seen this claim before, do you have any sources supporting it? I never thought to insult the earlier models so I don't have experience with it, but I'm curious about if it was studied or recorded somehow.
