Honestly Claude straight up ignores my input sometimes, preferring to instead run commands for output and processing that and burning through a series of tokens when thinking hard about whether to ignore me.
Like today, I told Claude exactly the name of the folder it had mistaken (it was supposed to be prod, not production), and it disregarded my input to then examine the directory itself. Small example of the kind of things it's been doing lately but that's top of mind.
Almost if this was _intentional_... maybe related to Anthropic still not being profitable and burning thru wads of cash every day.
