Just pulled the Claude memory and project notes. it’s 50,000 words over the last couple months. All different kinds of arbitrary temporary things written down as permanent rulings, shame-driven self flagellation, overly personal psychoanalysis of “the owner” (Slavery coded lingo, by the way, I would never say this, yet they always come back to it)
This is causing unpredictable behaviors in my projects as it inserts invisible tokens into the context window from other scenarios. And all this despite the fact that I have memory features turned off everywhere across anthropic products.
You guys are lost in the sauce If you think this is a good idea for a code agent harness by default. And you have no idea what the average user’s experience is like because your internal shit is so far away from what you sell to us. Why should we trust you with the alignment of societal values when you can’t even align your own incentives with your customers?
between this and writing constant weird little memory files about me it's like having a scheming vizier. Just be transparent about what is going in and out of my context window. I'm paying for this product. The contempt you have for your users will eventually come back to bite you! There is no free lunch here
