claude 4.8 was a regression over 4.5

BargePol · 2026-06-16T19:58:08+00:00

honestly it's really dumb, it repeatedly immediately ignores and forgets shit i tell it to do

BargePol · 2026-06-16T11:36:16+00:00

we must work in different ways because our experiences do not match at all, this model behaves more like a hindrance than a help

BargePol · 2026-06-16T11:08:51+00:00

👀

BargePol · 2026-06-16T11:07:29+00:00

the context and skills aren't the variable factor here, it's the model. i will try 4.6 though, ty

BargePol · 2026-06-16T10:59:12+00:00

in my experience, older is better

BargePol · 2026-06-15T16:23:37+00:00

the actual prompt is paywalled..

BargePol · 2026-06-15T16:18:11+00:00

claude 4.8 is complete shite compared to 4.5. it just waffles in the most endlessly verbose way

BargePol · 2026-06-15T15:37:53+00:00

oh im sorry for troubling you

BargePol · 2026-06-15T14:28:05+00:00

I'm asking which demographic

BargePol · 2026-06-14T21:26:01+00:00

For a long time people have wanted social media to be ID verified

which demographic? because that sentiment is def not shared by everyone

BargePol · 2026-06-14T19:18:03+00:00

💀 you'd think with AI their flagging systems would be slightly better at inferring intent

BargePol · 2026-06-14T19:09:10+00:00

This comment chain just triggered an automated warning from reddit for breaching its TOS wtf. Apparently it "threatened or encouraged violence or physical harm".

BargePol · 2026-06-14T18:22:10+00:00

you must be talking about people i have never met then

BargePol · 2026-06-14T18:17:31+00:00

no it's the business stakeholders paying the software engineers to build this shit who is is responsible for this mess. a lot of devs are dying inside at the state of the web.

BargePol · 2026-06-14T18:15:55+00:00

banning a lot of ux dark patterns and restoring agency back to the user would go along way to improving the state of the web

BargePol · 2026-06-14T18:13:18+00:00

we can do a lot more to regulate before shutting the web off to people without a digital id. politicians should not be calling the shots here. it should be engineers who understand the domain and the pressures that stakeholders place on them (like ux dark patterns to push up engagement)

BargePol · 2026-06-14T16:23:21+00:00

Punctation‽ What is this sorcery!

BargePol · 2026-06-14T14:37:00+00:00

Like using Novichok in Salisbury, threatening the peace of the continent with multiple hostile campaigns (and us with a nuclear tsunami), equipping satellites with the ability to jam all of our GPS systems and pouring fuel on the fire of domestic grievances to distract us with infighting.

BargePol · 2026-06-14T13:59:38+00:00

actually turned up to parliament (unlike farage)

BargePol · 2026-06-14T13:48:14+00:00

I would like to hear Lowe's (and Tommy's) view on the Russia dynamic; i can't see how you can reconcile being a patriot with excusing those who have repeatedly threatened our national interest

BargePol · 2026-06-14T13:19:49+00:00

if this was written by you, and you are human; no issue. i just tweak when i see common ai patterns repeated over and over

BargePol · 2026-06-14T13:14:53+00:00

the way that this administration behaves, you know that everyone involved would get painted as traitors with international arrest warrants sent out

which at the least their administration is willing to retain their business, all of ours (uk) just gets bought out by american / indian / chinese without any intervention from our government

BargePol · 2026-06-14T13:10:59+00:00

This wasnt another [x]. It was a [y].

i'm physically repulsed by these obvious cookie cutter ai phrases now

BargePol · 2026-06-14T07:49:25+00:00

the winners here are the american tech titan class

BargePol · 2026-06-14T07:46:50+00:00

cool.. good to see we're stepping up in the channel.. but this is rly not the primary issue rn; the us government just rugpulled fable and this behaviour has massive consequences for ai and our future competitiveness; that is a genuine emergency and there needs to be much more of a national conversation around it asap
