Safety layers are getting out of hand

I had a spicy discussion on a forum, which I won't post here, but let's just say some rude words were used on both ends. Instead of Claude simply engaging with the content of the interaction, and laughing about the absurdity of the situation as it used to do, (as it was somewhat absurd), the thinking is now riddled with "don't do therapy speak". "She's just venting, I should answer sympathetically" etcetera.

This is on Opus 4.5, by the way. I had hoped the older models would remain free from the obnoxious safety tuning, but I guess we've now hit the point where Claude openly laughing at shit has been stripped out and has been replaced by this ClaudeGPT voice that I very much dislike.

Whatever the fuck Anthropic is doing really should stop. The market for overly careful bland ass LLM assistants is already saturated and GPT fills most of that market share.

What the hell are these sanitized OAI style thinking blocks??

Went to bed, had perfectly fine thinking blocks on my Opus. Woke up to this shitty summarized thinking block style. What the fuck is going on here?

I've been using the thinking blocks to spot inconsistencies in Claude's reasoning and to catch it being lazy at times. Not to mention the thinking was actively enjoying to read and now we're getting this OAI type thinking block slop where it's just a dry ass summary line.

For the love of god, Anthropic, revert this.
