as long as you submit to the cloud's idea of what you're allowed to talk about, it'll keep changing the degree to which you're allowed to drink from the sacred fountain of knowledge.

This is more about how MBAs are wanting to mediate between you and the knowledge than anything else.

It's quite obnoxious. I asked if brown rice left in the fridge for a couple days–originally put in for use in fried rices–was still safe. Fable decided I'm trying to produce biotoxins. Which, ironically, prompted me to learn how to produce Bacillus cereus at home [1].

I paid for a year but am going back to Kagi's multi-model system [2].

"Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master." (he, in this case, would not be the llm but the people over it)

I find those kind of limitation very dystopian and way more dangerous than the threat they claim to fight against.

I recall Microsoft's Sidney having a hilarious one regarding the date or something. Anyone have a link to that?

Claude has never been the best Chat agent. GPT and Gemini have the lead there. But Claude chat is still perfectly serviceable if you don’t want to pay for two.

My own experience is that Opus 4.8 has an adversarial-teacher voice, unsolicited grading as if I submitted an essay for grading, declarations about the "real" issue, and constant "honest notes" self grading its own responses even before it answers. I can't stand its tone. We can't have a normal chat.

While Fable reverts to Opus for simple questions like "What is digestion?"

Same, I was just fighting it as it accused me over and over again of Ctrl+Cing a process that clearly errored out. 3 turns for it to find why the shell script actually crashed.

I love Claude Code and I don't use the rest of it. Fable is pretty great.
