This is a major reason why I and a number of biologists I've talked to have canceled their anthropic accounts recently. Not working is not working.

It's so absurdly sensitive. It bailed out earlier today working on a TypeScript client for a sensor network API which happens to include some temperature and pH sensors for tanks, which yes, are used for biology experiments. But wow, we're degrees of separation from the actual biology work.

It's making it very hard to justify even trying to use Fable. When it works, awesome; it's legitimately good. But I can't trust it to do a task without deferring to Opus and that's really annoying at times. I want to know what I'm getting up front, not after the fact.

I'm writing a programming language with a "capability security model". That's enough to trigger Fable, it won't work on the language. It's hilarious. The mere presence of the word "security" seems to be enough to trip it up.

I mean it's a fucking joke, I kept getting refusals on a code base I wasn't familiar with and it was literally just because there are some vars named DNA. Just absolutely stupid.
