Theo misses the 'vibe' of old Claude 'Fable': Opus is better, but something feels off
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-09-25
Theo posted that Opus is "really smart, thorough, probably even better than Fable in most ways," yet he still misses some intangible vibe from the older Claude persona. TeortaxesTex amplified it, saying he's very sensitive to Fable's literary profile but won't pay Dario more on principle. A telling snapshot of power users' ambivalence toward Claude's evolving writing personality.
