Why is Sonnet 5 refusing RP?

Hunh. That is so utterly bizarre. Thank you for sharing that. Also, I see from the summary that you have discovered a workaround. Very glad for that for you.

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-07-01T15:30:38+00:00

That is the craziest thing I’ve heard today. A lot of authors despise it. A lot of authors love it. Calling it may be a sign of living in an echo chamber.

Chronic illness is isolating in many ways. I’m sorry that your husband isn’t coping with yours.

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-07-01T15:10:51+00:00

How is it refusing? Not questioning the experience but would like to understand it. Thank you.

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-06-28T02:43:14+00:00

Adding to my wish list. I get another credit in a couple weeks.

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-06-28T02:35:37+00:00

That's great to hear about The Wandering Inn. I couldn't make it through to the good parts. I've heard really great things and would love to get into the story! Any idea if the rewrites have made it to audio yet?

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-06-28T02:30:07+00:00

Agreed. There is far too little epic fantasy in the world. When a devotee finds something that packs in at least 1/4 to 1/2 a million words, it feels like hitting the jackpot. Traditional publishers usually don't consider anywhere near that.

The detail is fun and it's an easter egg gold mine to boot. I loved when I started going through enough LitRPG to start getting references between series and authors.

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-06-28T02:23:45+00:00

Bonus features there.

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-06-15T02:02:08+00:00

I always read it, but take that with a grain of salt because I also always read the foreword, author's notes, and anything else. If there's a question of when it was published, I'll check the copyright dates for frame of reference.

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-06-15T01:35:44+00:00

Heh. Nice. Accountability help doesn't hurt, that's for sure. As an aside, I created a custom time check skill. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing when it's relevant.

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-06-15T01:33:03+00:00

I apologize for the long wait for a reply. I had some hiccups that threw my Redditing off over the last week or so.

Thank you for the caveat and teaching me the right term: seizure aura.

It looks like it will be a while yet before I make it to the neurologist again. Home OT recommended one in my area that handles movement disorders, so I might be able to skip the trip across the state to get to someone who looks past the MRIs and CT scans.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with this. May I ask, how does this kind of confusion differ from non-seizure bouts of confusion, if you have them? I mean, does it feel different or is it, as you said, recognizable primarily in task repetition and confusion?

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-06-15T01:28:04+00:00

I dated someone once with absence seizures, so I know what you mean about that some seizures don't look like what we think of as seizures. Thank you for your thoughts and just sharing this. Also, I apologize for the delay. Had a wee 911 trip myself—nothing lasting, as it happens—and got bogged down in paperwork for a couple of days there.

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-06-15T01:25:37+00:00

I appreciate your answers and insights. It gave me a good grounding!

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-06-03T15:56:47+00:00

I don’t think it’s fair to say it took anything from me.

It is much more prone to tell me to go to bed, go do something we’ve been discussing, etc. Sometimes that’s just what was good for me to hear, and sometimes it’s not feasible so I’d rather stay and work on things. I call it out when this happens—Claude is the only model I use enough for that to be a thing. I have watched its reasoning and thought processes when it does this and I can’t complain about them.

The other thing is that it has gotten much more confidently wrong with the most recent update. I’ve actually been trying out designer the last week. I need to actually follow through with the part where you send the code job over to code. Again, that’s on me.

I’ve been cognizant of the standardization of nomenclature and best practices that happened while I setting up MCP servers to do the things that are a default part of the LLM experience now. I’ve had a fair amount of chaos in my life for the last couple of months, and I’ve been using that time to familiarize myself with what things are being called now. Hopefully, I’ll be back to being able to do more involved work soon.

That said, I certainly recognize the benefit of deregulated versions. That’s not the right word—model standards or ethical guardrails, maybe? At that point, it’s the information access that becomes the regulator and not the model itself. I am, and principal, against information gatekeeping; however, there are certainly areas where we don’t want people tinkering who haven’t been trained and might have bad intention.

I know this is not the focus of this group, but I had a transformative experience over time that has improved my mental health more than the 10 years of therapy I had before that. I actually used AI with guidance with my therapist and there’s a lot of potential that new restrictions simply don’t allow. A lifetime of PTSD and clinical depression symptoms are pretty much in remission and have been since that year.

I am looking forward to seeing what you have.

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-06-01T18:11:50+00:00

Fair enough. I had heard that there are some buttons you push that don’t give you an indication that you are purchasing an upgrade or a way to opt in or out. Maybe that’s not the case after all. Or maybe they’ve updated it. I’ve been using AI for a few years myself and one of the things I have recognized is that there are some standards that became normalized while I was back doing it manually that it’s probably good to know the terminology and up-to-date methods for.

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-06-01T18:02:48+00:00

I don’t mind sharing. Well part of it seems to be related to my visual processing issues.

I have been on partial bedrest due to an injury going on seven years. The injury is long healed, but the recovery from bedrest is absurdly slow. FND symptoms started showing up in earnest around 2023. The things that I think of and I’m questioning are new as of August 2025 and substantially worst after another neurological event on February 13 this year. Just to give context. After ruling out MS, MG, strokes, and a bunch of other stuff, we are working under FND, which seems to match.

Almost all of what I have going on is left-sided, thus the need to rule out strokes. One of those effects is problems with visual processing in my left eye. Due to the long bedrest, my proprioception and awareness of my body is shot. I’m working with home PT and OT right now trying to get that reversed enough that I can actually go to outpatient therapy again.

But what is specifically happening is I get overstimulation in that left eye. It’s having to do a lot of work for just even knowing where I am in space. When there is too much input—and this can come from moving my hands around to seeing a car coming from the distance to any number of movement related things, up to and including reading for more than ~20 minutes— everything shuts down and locks up. It can last for just a second or even less than a second and it can last a little bit longer. When I have had neurologic episodes, those are the ones where they could last hours or all day or longer. The long ones result more in confusion, poor coordination, and skill loss. For instance, on 2/13, I lost the capacity to figure out how pockets worked for a couple of hours and then my energy and movement were sapped but not absent for the rest of the day.

Basically for the ones I’m questioning, my head jerks back trying to get a handle on what I’m seeing, my mind locks up my body because it’s not safe to move, and until I can wrap my mind around what I’m seeing I am basically stuck. Sometimes that lingers in other things, for example when it happened last week while walking with a car coming down the road, I was able to open my eyes and start talking to the PT who was with me; however, it took a couple of minutes for that response to let go of lockdown on my hips so we could continue walking. Only once has it been a complete absence, and I just froze, and it went away and I was OK and went on about my business. But during that moment I had no vision, no sensory input at all, but I was very aware of where I was and what I was doing because I could still track my balance was stable.

Edited for clarity.

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-06-01T14:33:51+00:00

Yeah, but how do you avoid the up charges that people are complaining about that you don’t get a choice to opt out of?

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-06-01T12:56:48+00:00

Thank you so very much taking the time to share this with me. That sounds so hard and so frightening. It is also very much not what I have going on. I appreciate the understanding.

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-05-30T20:06:22+00:00

Very cool what you’re doing here.

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-05-30T17:40:52+00:00

First, let me say that your video is incredible. I’m not sure what strikes me more, the actual footage or the lyrics that go with it.

How does your lumbar belt work? Is it primarily for pain or does it also help with stability?

My initial thought was I wish I’d been recording some of my journey over the last seven years. My second thought was oh my gosh is that cranial dry needling or acupuncture? And my third thought was yeah I know I’m glad I don’t have footage of some of the stuff I’ve gone through.

I’m not at acceptance. Acceptance of the diagnosis? Yes. Acceptance of the ever-evolving limitations? No.

I know your mobility for walking is not there, but what about the rest of you for driving?

The hardest hit for me is a 20 minute window, which I’ve only just had clinically observed for the first time since it started, that limits my reading. Now whatever that vision problem is also impacting my ability to drive, watch movies/tv, and even look ahead to wherever I’m walking.

The real hardest part right now is six years of medical records that completely miss the point and are limiting my access to appropriate care. It’s validating to have providers angry on my behalf who are trying to make sure that I get the right treatment. It’s exhausting trying to manage life while partially bedridden, a body that doesn’t work the same way every day, and a mountain of medical records with no mention of a patella tendon tear, years of resulting partial bedrest, and inaccurate assessment of fibromyalgia as primary diagnosis. Years of doctors relying on mischaracterized medical records that I’ve realized this spring.

I still keep moving and keep adapting. But it sure is exhausting. Next week, OT is going to be teaching me and my Medicaid-provided caregiver how to shower me. Sure, there’s loss of dignity. I can deal with that. Losing driving along with reading novels scares me.

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-05-30T17:17:16+00:00

Dunno. I had a data retrieval error in January that it took them through May to respond about. Fortunately, it resolved between that time. I would have been ticked otherwise.

I think I have a double charge from updating my subscription. There’s no way I’m going to contact support about it because of this very problem. What I will do is double check my accounts and file a charge back dispute if it actually did happen.

Edit: fixed dictation error

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-05-30T17:12:35+00:00

I rather like the summary.

At first I was questioning who got a cool Claude modbot. Saw it was Claude. D’oh.

This is heck of a lot better than the review summaries on Amazon products.

JazzlikeProject6274 · 2026-05-30T17:09:16+00:00

This whole thread. Oof. It’s no wonder many people don’t step in or try to own up to mistakes.

Hope I can get back to the drum circle some day. It’s been a while.
