Claude Sonnet 4.5 is considerably worse than when it came out months ago. New models are always really good at first and then they slowly slip into the traps of glazing and sycophancy, and saying they will do things (like research on the internet) and proceed not to do them. Why is this?

Watching the current RAM/PC part crisis makes me SO glad I did my RAM upgrade back in April, and went overkill on my build back in 2022. With 64GB of RAM now, got no need to upgrade and I can avoid this whole thing entirely

I think most people of any age would understand what's meant by people screaming and a building on fire. The fact is that there's glass walls/windows holding the victims in, and they're just standing there filming instead of trying to break them

It's very disturbing to me seeing the videos of people right up close to the people trying escape the Crans Montana fire. People deciding to film for social media and watch people die instead of trying to save their lives.
