This report examines how influence peddlers exploit divisive narratives to polarize identity and political groups, analyzing mechanisms, digital tools, financial incentives, and real-world consequences. Drawing from academic research, investigative journalism, and case studies, it synthesizes insights into the intersection of social media algorithms, targeted advertising, and algorithmic manipulation in shaping public discourse and policy.

No, you're just bad at prompting. I got it to do automated tests easily.

That's a file context problem because you use cursor or cline or some other crap context maker. Try Clood.

Unless "anthropic high usage" which I just watch the incident reports I one shot features regularly.

At a high skill level. Not front end. Back end c# in a small but great framework that has poor documentation. Not just endpoints but full on task queues.

So really, it's a context problem. You're just not laser focusing your context.

Try this:

Set up a context with the exact files needed. Sure ai "should" do that but it doesn't. Especially not cursor or cline. Then try.

Hell try it with clood after I update with 3.7. I bet you, if you clood file it, then you get one shots.

I have a long history of clood being a commit in my projects and it's a clood one shot.

When claude gets in a loop like this the best thing to do is just start over in a new window.

When you line up claude on some good context and a good question it does really well. There are more specialized llms for sql I would try one of those. Claude is a generalist and for that, it's not great at everything.

It's really good at react and python -- as someone else mentioned -- that junior code is public and available.

However, random sql needs more "guiding" via the prompt. Explain more about the data and why it's wrong. Tell claude, "I think you're producing slop" and he will break out of his loop.

Good luck!
