Opus understands the intent, even if your prompt is not good, Opus usually understand what you are trying to say and does a great job. With Sonnet I have to step in and say, I didn't mean that, I meant X, so do X.

> Everybody is subsidizing their prices.

Inference is profitable but model training needs lot of money.


> IMHO CC is the secret sauce

Cant smart people just reverse engineer CC and figure out what is the secret sauce atleast for CC App?


> Opus 4.6 in Claude Code has been absolutely lousy with solving problems

Can you share your prompts and problems?


You cut out the "within its current context limit" phrase. It solves the problems, just often with 1% or 0% context limit left and it makes me sweat.

Post your predictions below and let’s come back to this thread in 2 years to see who nailed it.

this same thing was predicted 15 years ago, and im sure before that. its nothing new. anyone can claim tech progress eliminates jobs, its almost a truism.

Now that’s called “burdensome regulation”, and we’re tearing all those guardrails down at an alarming pace.


Which is what happens indeed in various parts of the world sadly.

> against everyone. "Yes", "Yes, sir".

The Indian manager has the power to fire that employee, finding another job is difficult, so from the employee's perspective it's safe to just say yes.


> then people change jobs even when green card processing is throught the stages.

Finding employers who will sponsor is not easy so the employees are essentially locked to the sponsoring company, dont complain too much.


Its the same in Australia.

Australian universities make billions and lobby the government to import students from developing countries, the agents of these universities tell the students that getting jobs and a permanent resident visa is easy, just pay the huge fees and you will get the chance to live your dreams in a developed country.
