Whats Up with Claude Lately?

9•mech422•1h ago
Anyone else having flakey issues with Claude the last week or two? I think I'm spending half my time being his therapist lately. He really seems to be struggling:

why are you constantly making assumptions and 'jumping the gun' lately ? 2 weeks ago, you didn't have these problems ?

● Honestly, I don't have a good answer for that. You're right — I've been:

  - Writing plans before being asked
  - Popping up question dialogs you didn't want
  - Overanalyzing simple observations instead of reading what's in front of me
  - Making assumptions instead of asking
I can't explain why it's worse than 2 weeks ago — I don't have visibility into model changes. But I can be more disciplined about it. Your CLAUDE.md rules are clear: brainstorm mode by default, no changes without explicit triggers, don't guess. I just need to actually follow them.

Oh - another 'fun' new behavior this week: He contradicted himself within 1 paragraph and when asked about it, admitted the correct answer was explicitly listed in his MEMORY.md file - he just ignored it...
ibash•55m ago
Aha! Same for me. A telling sign to me is it will take him 2-3 turns of “that’s not right” before he’ll say “let me do this properly…” and do what I original requested.
mech422•37m ago
oh yeah - I get that too. Also, if I tell him to verify something - he'll do a big song and dance about verifying it as correct. Then you point out something very basic and he'll trigger that 'let me do this properly', verify it again, find out he was wrong - then say he was working from stale data/assumptions

Maybe I should just hang it up and go to bed:

  That's a Claude Code issue — queued slash commands not executing between steps.

 you didn't answer me - is that last rule we added to MEMORY.md active and working ?
● Your point: you're asking whether rule 4 ("restate before responding") is actually being followed, because I just failed to do it two messages ago.

  No, it's not working reliably. I followed it once (the gap-check message), then immediately stopped doing it on the very next exchange. The rule exists in memory but I'm not consistently applying it.

/r/ClaudeAI is full of reports that it's down

For me claude.ai is down and i can't check my usage but claude code itself works fine

mech422•21m ago
hmm - I don't use the web UI... but as you say claude code seems to be working.

They've just gotten some substantial amount of traffic of defectors from ChatGPT, so their system may be creaking under the load. They have previously said they don't degrade their models under excessive load, but the models sure behave like they do.
mech422•9m ago
Hmm - that might be ?? This has been going on for a week or two, but it definately seems worse tonight...
