Joke: removing em dashes in post-training 'halves' Opus cost per task
verrsane · x · 2026-09-23
An obvious parody post claims "Opus 5.5 is so good — internal evals show it's half the cost of Opus 5 per task," then delivers the punchline: removing em dashes in post-training saves users so much money. It riffs on the community meme about models' obsession with em dashes and mocks cost-discussion culture. Pure satire.
