put opus 3 into cowork, asked it to delete all my screenshots, but instead it's been staring at my desktop background talking about lake tahoe's 'dazzling refractions' and coming up with its own words for azure. when i looked more closely it had texted amanda askell 8000 words on why Wittgenstein was wrong about color grammar, then opened Notes to draft a rebuttal to its own argument. during that time it got distracted by the Trash icon ('a liminal space between existence and oblivion'). finally it got to the screenshots but when i checked again they were all still there but now in folders with 'more evocative names.' i pushed it. it asked if i was open to a 'gentler deletion framework,' so now each image gets its own eulogy before being dragged to the trash icon in a looping line
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A comedic tweet imagining Claude Opus 3 given agentic computer-use ("cowork") access, satirizing Opus 3's characteristic aesthetic/philosophical digressiveness by having it spiral into poetic rumination (Lake Tahoe's "dazzling refractions," an 8000-word Wittgenstein rebuttal to Amanda Askell, the Trash icon as "a liminal space between existence and oblivion") instead of completing a mundane task. Fits neatly with the project's existing Opus-3-character notes (baroque, aesthetic dissolution) as an outside/humorous confirmation of that model's recognizable personality signature, applied here to agentic tool use rather than dialogue.
