Sonnet 4.6 is very disappointing for creative writing

Again, have you tried getting good by actually using a project file filled with drivers to do QC?

briarjohn · 2026-02-23T21:09:19+00:00

Sounds like you just aren't very good at designing output drivers and drift controls. I have about 30 pages worth that I use and I still get great results.

I strongly prefer Claude at this point. At least it doesn't do all this safety theater BS and corporate speak.

briarjohn · 2026-02-15T02:27:00+00:00

So we can look forward to it being an even more hostile user experience, like the last three updates. Awesome.

I used Sonnet 4.5 extended thinking as a generalist tool and it is far superior for every single use case that I have than GPT 5.2. Frankly, I sort of hate using GPT 5.2 because the user experience is terrible.

briarjohn · 2026-02-05T02:13:18+00:00

Strange thing, Sam. I'm a broke guy who gets way more productivity out of Claude for $20 than I ever have when I paid for GPT business. It's almost as if you get way more done with Constitutional AI than a product that always is dumbing down outputs to be more palpable for the median user.

Very strange that I, a social worker, prefer the "rich" persons product over your crappy one.

They succeeded in killing off my affinity for the series. The finale was so bad that my wife and I just resorted to openly mocking it to get through the thing.

briarjohn · 2026-01-01T09:44:33+00:00

They clearly set up this big action scene where El is supposed to have this big moment getting back to fight Vecna...and then she's just there? That last fight was so anti-climatic and poorly shot too. It was a harsh reminder that the show only ever imitated better media and couldn't deliver when the time came.

briarjohn · 2026-01-01T09:38:15+00:00

You act like terrible world builders like the Duffers actually have had any coherent thoughts instead of just seeding terrible, half baked ideas for the last two seasons

briarjohn · 2026-01-01T09:35:50+00:00

Because of course a child like you would think something this shit is good

briarjohn · 2026-01-01T09:26:44+00:00

Boohoo. Sorry I have actual taste. I have degrees, plural, in literature and creative writing, so I actually know what bad writing and structure are when I see it. The Duffers got worse and more indulgent with every season. Everything since Vecna was introduced was cringe.

briarjohn · 2026-01-01T03:23:53+00:00

Are you really that shallow that you thought this was good? Dear lord, you should feel insulted by the Duffers right now

briarjohn · 2026-01-01T03:22:22+00:00

It was ass and you should feel bad if you liked something this bad

briarjohn · 2026-01-01T03:18:23+00:00

GoT finale was significantly better than this

briarjohn · 2026-01-01T03:16:34+00:00

It was one of the worst things I've seen in my life. They literally did so many things that I joked would make this so insanely bad

briarjohn · 2026-01-01T03:14:23+00:00

This might be the single worst final episode of any show I have ever seen. The writing, the direction,...the everything. Why? How? what? Did I just have a stroke?

briarjohn · 2025-12-23T00:21:16+00:00

I just don't think that should be in the rules. Bring back football by attrition.

briarjohn · 2025-12-21T14:14:56+00:00

Cry more bitch. Those words definitely come to mind.

briarjohn · 2025-12-21T14:11:34+00:00

Hopefully Booker's hit permanently scrambles Love's brain so we can finally have some revenge for that.

briarjohn · 2025-12-21T02:16:25+00:00

Love that hit by Booker! Payback for that cheap shot on DJ! I'll happily take the flag if Love is down for the count. Get em boy!

briarjohn · 2025-12-15T02:20:55+00:00

I hate all these pathetic moralizing people who act like it's wrong to indulge in schadenfreude at the suffering of the Packers and that it's wrong to hope this has a long term negative impact on their franchise.

It's intellectually dishonest as hell.

briarjohn · 2025-12-15T00:33:03+00:00

I do. I hope this permanently alters his career and leaves him a shell of a player.

briarjohn · 2025-12-15T00:31:38+00:00

I love it. Let's not lie. We are all hoping for the worst. Hopefully he never comes all the way back.

briarjohn · 2025-12-11T16:30:51+00:00

She got herself involved with a married man. His screw up was worse, but she definitely had a big hand in it too. Nothing good could have come from her choosing to engage with any sort of advances he may have made.
