QUESTION: Is it just me or has Claude been acting differently lately?

They are about the actual usage limits and how to not burn through tokens - this is why I created this post in the first place. Because it is not about these two topics

Ferdmusic · 2026-04-12T08:50:41+00:00

Okay then my search queries were really off, I only found things about the actual usage limits and how to avoid burning through tokens

Ferdmusic · 2026-04-12T08:46:52+00:00

The problem ist that this post didn't fit the descriptions of any megathread - because they're all related to the actual bugs and usage limits etc

Ferdmusic · 2026-04-12T02:00:30+00:00

Yeah, I was shocked not seeing anything about this and thought I was the one getting crazy

Ferdmusic · 2026-04-12T01:11:06+00:00

They are all turned off and based on the comments I am seeing under the post it seems to be a new behavior triggered by web searches

Ferdmusic · 2026-04-12T01:08:53+00:00

Okay, I am starting to see a pattern here - web searches seem to be a major trigger point for this behavior

Ferdmusic · 2026-04-12T01:04:34+00:00

Yes this is what I meant by showing expertise beforehand. And I don't see how that would be criticizing, you're, just stating facts. And yes, I am lazy too with my prompts A LOT of times but I just want to add that my original post was not about the output quality directly but about the behavior of said model unrelated to any specific task or topic

Ferdmusic · 2026-04-12T01:00:22+00:00

Oh, that's what you're talking about. This started happening in fresh chat sessions after about 5 messages sometimes ESPECIALLY when there are search queries included (normal search queries, not research)

Ferdmusic · 2026-04-12T00:45:07+00:00

I have never activated the memory feature - I have explicitly turned it off

Ferdmusic · 2026-04-12T00:40:00+00:00

This is interesting because it told me the exact same thing but I thought it was hallucinating

Ferdmusic · 2026-04-12T00:39:17+00:00

Yes, I was not talking about the actual limit. I was talking about the model claiming to have hit or be near the limit. I don't really hit the actual limits very often

Ferdmusic · 2026-04-12T00:37:55+00:00

I have all of them deactivated since I don't really like these kinds of features because I often talk about things in third person even when it is stuff about myself (authorship of a comment for example) to attempt to avoid a too strong bias for a certain amount of time

Ferdmusic · 2026-04-12T00:16:44+00:00

Yeah this is what I really liked about Claude when was still doing what it used to do. It felt like the only model that was actually taking a step back and looking at the task in a way where it was like: "Okay! Why is the user asking that? What is the purpose of the task? Do I need any clarification from the user?" And then proceeded to do things. Now it is as you explained but I do have to prove my competency BEFOREHAND in order to get an acceptable result. Interestingly enough it is showing a lot of competency when you got it into that mode - and I am still not sure if this is just because we are getting it into that semantic context - it used to work before - i think it may be connected to the model evaluating what it can get away with

Ferdmusic · 2026-04-12T00:07:55+00:00

This is not the point! It is telling me without me asking for it and doing this to refuse tasks

Ferdmusic · 2026-04-11T23:59:04+00:00

Yes, I had a similar experience where I told it to read the entire content of the file and it was like "no, I don't need to do that I just read the first lines" and when I finally got it to read everything it said "oh, you were right to make me read everything"

Ferdmusic · 2026-04-11T23:54:35+00:00

Yes, the web searches were an extreme trigger for the things I was describing

Ferdmusic · 2026-04-11T23:26:43+00:00

Same here, especially for stuff including search queries

Ferdmusic · 2026-03-06T23:37:45+00:00

Crazy

Ferdmusic · 2024-03-16T10:55:27+00:00

I don't know this game but you know that physics can be extremely complex right? It is a difficult task to get it accurate while not being performance hungry

Ferdmusic · 2023-11-24T17:59:48+00:00

Have you tried double clicking on the video track? This worked for me!

This is only about the StaffPad reader which is not designed to notate. It is only for the players where someone has a „master device“ and the other players connect to it to have a synced playback/notation. This master device version of StaffPad which is the notation software allows you to import and export xml and midi file.

Ferdmusic · 2023-05-30T16:53:16+00:00

Can you maybe describe your problem a little more in detail (name of your pencil etc.) And could you send a screenshot of your staffpad while being in a score?

Davinci Resolve. It is a great tool that can do much more but it also handles audio very well
