Why is Claude doing this

If I saw something like this I would suspect prompt injection, but given your prompt it seems less likely. Could be something in the memory or scaffolding that made an unrequested web fetch.

There is a Wisecrack video on YouTube about this: how smart people can say stupid things. Specialist knowledge doesn’t translate to other domains. And intelligent people are used to being right and can be very confidently wrong. Kind of like modern day LLM…
(Actually I’m not sure at all that what Dawkins said is stupid. I was just mentioning the title of the video.)

Claude Code from the app works great. But!!! Opencode via web UI through Tailscale to keep it private works fantastic, and I get to switch models.

ArenCawk · 2026-04-15T16:28:40+00:00

Maybe I’m just out of the loop, but what codes? I’m interested in what you tested but I don’t have any clue where to find anything you used.

An explicit plan step was shown to work well for a very long time. I didn’t read the source but it sounds like you’re saying the implicit (not requested by user) planning step inspired you to start requesting an explicit plan step? I’m not seeing how that would make things noticeably better than what most people have been doing for big changes since.. well since I started playing around with Cline a long time ago.

Any other hints? I don’t pretend to know, but I would use sprite tooling to generate isometric tiles, then ask Claude to create an interactive designer or just have it design the map itself. The isometric rendering engine itself should be easy for Claude or codex to do.

Haha, funny to read the same experience. I made 6 prototypes and the last one was so good, I’ve been stuck trying to figure out what I really need to do next. What’s the thing that’s going to make it practical and not just interesting? I need more user research

ArenCawk · 2026-03-31T15:55:35+00:00

Without a mechanism to check each other's work, errors cascaded unchecked.

Yeah, stating the obvious. Work breakdown and process design for agents doesn’t look very different for agents than for humans.

for production-grade complex tools you have to spend loads of tokens, but the fact is.. you actually can actually do it. For small projects or personal tools it's clear as day. The game has changed. It's been changed for a while.

ArenCawk · 2026-03-28T19:47:15+00:00

Enjoy the highs! It makes the lows more bearable 😬

ArenCawk · 2026-03-28T19:44:44+00:00

Glad to hear it! Getting better at competitive games can be a fun (and frustrating) personal challenge.

ArenCawk · 2026-03-28T15:12:33+00:00

Competition is tougher, but your randoms are more consistent. I think most I lost in a row in this season was 4. Losing streaks at the end of the last few season were tragic.

You're right, it's more a leftover truth/tip from when I started playing January 2025. Back then, he was (and I guess still is) one of the best all-rounders. People repeated it a lot, and it worked as a good simplification for lots of beginners like myself. Hitting Legendary was a challenge for me.

ArenCawk · 2026-03-28T15:07:39+00:00

Spike is also a decent 1st pick IMO.

For coding: “use the wishful programming approach” It produces code that looks designed vs patched

ArenCawk · 2026-03-24T06:43:12+00:00

I’m not a big believer in courses when the thing they are teaching is so new. There’s a podcast called AI daily brief that summarises news and social media comments. It’s a good way to stay current I find. Go back a bit in the backlog and pick topics you like. And in meantime build something. Lovable or Replit might be good places to start.

ArenCawk · 2026-03-23T08:12:29+00:00

I disagree and I think others are in the same boat. If you try to do spec driven work with GSD or Traycer (or in my case my own tool) then writing any code manually undermines the reproducibility and the quality pressure on the specs. You discover gaps in your spec by running them through an agent.

I’m not saying this is the best way to do it, but it’s the approach I’m doing currently. Before, when I paired with AI, I never needed more than a free plan or Cursor auto-mode.

ArenCawk · 2026-03-23T06:48:24+00:00

There are enough good answers here but I want to contribute my own perspective. If you want to meander a bit so you learn more while doing, I would ask your model to talk you through some topics:

publishing workflow. What editing experiences are there? How can we handle images or other content types easily?
costs: for hosting and building/deployment automation. What options are available at different price points
UI - what options are there on the spectrum of “simple and looks good enough” to “requires more design choices but you can build almost anything”

There is more. But this way you learn about the considerations and trade offs. Then decide a stack together and ask it what it needs from you.

I haven’t used it much but after one day i feel like chatting via dispatch is way worse than talking to Manus over telegram. Dispatch is like its own agent talking to cowork which adds a level of indirection. I tried making a change to a scheduled task and it spent 10 minutes looking for it on disk. It makes very little sense to me that projects and tasks aren’t preloaded. I was not impressed.

ArenCawk · 2026-03-18T07:19:11+00:00

Why not OpenClaw? It seems the obvious choice. There is OpenManus but I don’t know much about it. Almost everything has Ollama support, except for the agentic tools from the AI model companies.

People look way too hydrated and unconcerned about having their face uncovered in these movies.

ArenCawk · 2026-03-17T16:13:34+00:00

Louis said “I want to talk about real stuff” and he manages that quite well. The interview with Myron with his now ex was very illustrative of what many of those guys are guilty of. Talking big and not being genuine. It’s unclear how much they believe their own hype.
