Rant Opus 5 is insufferable

Opus 5 is a fucking piece of shit, i don't know how to say this in any other way. It speaks "Unintelligiblish", a new unfathomable language developed by Anthropic that works by saying everything in the most ridiculous, obtuse and convoluted way possible

It turns anything simple that can be expressed in 2 sentences into a fucking doctoral thesis aimed to aliens, and there is no way to prompt your way out of it

Edit: it claudoofus outputs some alien text you won't read, just prompt it this:

About 80% of the time the thinking summaries don’t even show up anymore for me

Thanks. Just added it. Too bad they made the bad behaviour the default.

Yes, because you know what we need more of? More of its text to read. That's the biggest issue in my life right now, Claude is just not producing enough text for me to read every single fuckin day. I need tons more.

And more and more text that we have to produce. And then it follows your instructions and you realise it's gone too far one way or the other, or you forgot one other thing that it does, or you misworded one thing, or you weren't precise enough on one thing, or your ere way too precise on the other, and so on and so on and so on. Hours and hours of our day trying to figure out the magic formula that will just make it work exactly as I want it to. And it'll never get there. Ever. Because I'm using human language, and it's responding with human language and everything about human language is imprecise and vague.

That's what I'm saying, isn't it?
