<p>I remember having a similar feeling about 'A Handmaids Tale', a TV show I gave up watching because I would actually weep myself to sleep.<p>Coming soon no doubt. It's like they are determined to make dystopian nightmares a reality, almost as if they know the end is nigh or this particular iteration of civilization is drawing to a close and they are determined to squeeze the very soul out of the experience.<p>To what end? Distraction? Personal enrichment?</p>

<p>What's obvious to me likely isn't obvious to you or anyone else, therefore nothing is obvious.<p>I wish we'd delete that word from the English language.</p>

<p>I've noticed this too.<p>Over the last 6 months I've been creating some truly mindblowing apps, apps that feel like they are entirely out of reach for today's Claude.<p>I've also noticed that if I do some assisted coding at 4-5am UK time, and then perform the same actions at 3-8pm UK time the results are vastly different:<p>- It takes much much longer to consider my input and work out a response<p>- Any response given has to be thoroughly considered (I've had to rollback changes)<p>- Changes scoped in the plan are stubbed or missing entirely<p>I've put it down to two things (a) Early enshitification, perhaps they simply don't feel the need to provide a consistent level of service because any observation of performance is highly subjective and (b) oversubscription, they scored massive marketing points by being blacklisted by US DoD (despite being integrated into many systems in a different capacity)</p>
