The model feels bench maxed to me. It is back to Opus and prior Fable behavior of me pointing out constant mistakes, with it apologizing and saying that it should have looked at what I point it to.

The thing is, all of these pointers are in the CLAUDE.md file, so it just ignored instructions because it thought it was smarter than the world and didn't need them. It feels really arrogant is how I would describe it.

You can't argue with the sci-fi angle of an even fancy simulacrum of intelligence beyond a certain level naturally precipitates condescension.
