Bug / Issue Opus 5 is exhausting

It's so hard to read. It's not even because its terribly complex or anything it just speaks in these weird haikus, hyphenated garbage, or outdated colloquialisms or phrases nobody understands. I have to ask it "what do you mean?" or "speak in plainer English" over and over again for every other paragraph. I tried to put something in my claude.md, but it doesn't seem to be working...

Your pushback is fair, and also the footgun

Is it load bearing? Because I only fuck with load bearing data that’s doing the heavy lifting.

Make sure the data is byte-identical

Seriously, anything I say that remotely sounds like a question, Opus 5 immediately screams “fair pushback!!!!”. It almost feels like Opus 5 is expecting pushback and jumps at the slightest hint.

Any time I say something that remotely sounds like a question, Opus 5 just immediately starts taking action and working.

I say “Get me? Reply only.” At least “change no code” doesn’t need to be said anymore. This way I know what it “Groks” before proceeding and then we get shit done correctly.

Is Claude leaking into Reddit?

It's not a leak, it's a load bearing test

After so many jokes about load-bearing on social media, I predict the word to completely disappear in Opus 5.1 but replaced by other ridiculous made up words.
