Each new model version hits your dopamine receptors very hard when it first comes out, but in the nature of things it stops hitting after a while and you need novel models to fire them off again. That's why people think the models are getting nerfed after a couple of weeks; it's actually their endocrine system getting nerfed.

There were no noticeable complaints about Opus 5.5 before the end of last week. Large volumes of people are now reporting the same thing at the same time. If your theory is true then multitudes of endocrine systems separated by vast distances and vastly different initial Anthropic exposure times are perfectly in sync. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.
