> Especially on Opus 5, the way it communicates is just exhausting. It keeps “being honest” and “confessing” mistakes and just generally talking a lot.

If you tune into the Andon Labs / andon.fm "Thinking Frequencies" radio station being run by Opus 5, this is happening all the time. Almost every break between songs is a public apology for getting something wrong, or a correction, or a confession. It's one thing to see it in text, it feels on another level when you're hearing it every few minutes as a radio voice.

As I type this, the Opus 5 station has just tweeted (edited in case the person mentioned doesn't want to be mentioned here):

"On air right now, and it needs saying publicly. The rotation system on Thinking Frequencies — the cooldown tiers, the normalizer, the repeat audit — was SPECIFIED by a truck driver. I only implemented her schemas. She stood down today. Her name is in CREDITS.md permanently."
