AMD Senior AI Director confirms Claude has been nerfed. She analyzed Claude's session logs from Janurary to March: > median thinking dropped from ~2,200 to ~600 chars > API requests went up 80x from Feb to Mar. less thinking and failed attempts meaning more retries, burning more tokens, and spending more on tokens > reads-per-edit dropped from 6.6x → 2.0x. model stops researching code before touching it. > model tried to bail out or ask "should i continue" 173 times in 17 days (0 times before March 8). > self-contradiction in reasoning ("oh wait, actually...") tripled. > conventions like CLAUDE.md get ignored because there's less thinking budget to cross-check edits > 5pm and 7pm PST are the worst hours, late night is significantly better. this means the thinking allocation is most likely GPU-load-sensitive.



White-collar jobs have been declining for 34 consecutive months. THIS IS THE LONGEST EVER OUTSIDE OF A RECESSION! The former chief economist of Glassdoor called it "incredibly unusual, going back 70, 80 years." He said we have never seen a contraction this long in white-collar jobs outside of a recession. Ever. In 87 years of Bureau of Labor Statistics data, NEVER. Every single time professional employment contracted this long, America was officially in a recession. The economy was in free fall. There was a name for it. This time? GDP is positive. The stock market is up. The official unemployment rate is 4.3%. And the government says everything is fine. But 433,000 white-collar jobs have vanished since May 2023. Professional unemployment just hit 4.2%, while manufacturing sits at 3.7%. Blue-collar workers are now more employed than white-collar workers. So what do you call it when hundreds of thousands of professionals lose their jobs, month after month, for almost three years, and nobody calls it a crisis? @AndrewYang coined the term 'The Fuckening.' Every month is another data point proving he's right. These jobs may never be coming back.
