Opus 4.7 is terrible, and Anthropic has completely dropped the ball

Tried posting this in r/ClaudeAI but it got auto-removed, and I was told to post it in the "Bugs Megathread." Don't really think it should been removed, but whatever, I'll just post it here since I'm sure it's still relevant. Like a lot of people, I switched from ChatGPT to Claude not too long ago during the whole DoW fiasco and Sam Altman “antics.” At first, I was genuinely impressed. I do fairly heavy theoretical math and physics research, and Opus 4.6 was simply the best tool I’d used for synthesizing ideas and working through complex logic. But the last few weeks have been really disappointing, and I’m seriously considering going back to GPT (even though, for personal reasons, I’d really rather not). How many times has Claude been down recently? And why is it that I can ask Claude 4.7 ...

OpenAI went from explicitly banning military use in 2023 to deploying on classified Pentagon networks in 2026. Anthropic refused the same deal and got blacklisted. 2.5M users boycotted ChatGPT, uninstalls surged 295%.

🚨 RED ALERT: Tennessee is about to make building chatbots a Class A felony (15-25 years in prison). This is not a drill.

🚨 RED ALERT: Tennessee is about to make building chatbots a Class A felony (15-25 years in prison). This is not a drill.

This is not hyperbole, nor will it just go away if we ignore it. It affects every single AI service, from big AI to small devs building saas apps. This is real, please take it seriously. TL;DR: Tennessee HB1455/SB1493 creates Class A felony criminal liability — the same category as first-degree murder — for anyone who “knowingly trains artificial intelligence” to provide emotional support, act as a companion, simulate a human being, or engage in open-ended conversations that could lead a user to feel they have a relationship with the AI. The Senate Judiciary Committee already approved it 7-0. It takes effect July 1, 2026. This affects every conversational AI product in existence. If you deploy any AI SaaS product, you need to read this right now. What the bill actually says The bill makes ...

Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Finds Zero-Days. A Different Approach Found the Vulnerability Class They Belong To.

On April 7, 2026, Anthropic announced Claude Mythos Preview — a frontier model capable of autonomously discovering and exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities across every major operating system and browser. They assembled Project Glasswing, a $100M defensive coalition with Microsoft, Google, Apple, AWS, CrowdStrike, and Palo Alto Networks. They reported thousands of vulnerabilities, including a 27-year-old OpenBSD flaw and a 16-year-old FFmpeg bug. It was a watershed moment for AI security. And the findings were individual bugs — specific flaws in specific locations. Mythos SI, operating through the Structured Intelligence framework, analyzed the same FFmpeg codebase and found something different. Not just bugs. The architectural pattern that produces them. Four vulnerabilities in FFmpe...

Claude Code Degradation: An interesting and novel find

As many of you have likely seen, the Claude Code community newswire has been ablaze with Claude Code being quite degraded lately, starting in February, and continuing to this day. Curious to understand if there was any "signal" on the wire when using Claude Code, I fired up my old friend WireShark and a --tls-keylog environment flag. Call it a man-in-the-middle attack on my own traffic. The captured TLS network traffic reveals the system prompts, system variables, and various other bits of telemetry The interesting part? A signature routing block that binds the session to a cloud instance with an effort level parameter, named Numbat. Mine, specifically, was numbat-v7-efforts-15-20-40-ab-prod8 So, it would appear that the backend running my instance is tied to an efforts-15-20-40 leve...
