Have you ever watched a day-time horror like Midsommar,

Or, a horror slash comedy movie like The Menu.

These movies tend to be set in a well lit environment, or a comfortable place. It’s not the a creepy town or woods, in fact the characters think they are there to enjoy and celebrate. There appear to be no red flags.

But for the movie viewer there’s something off about the whole thing. There’s a discomfort you feel as you watch the movie. You know someone is just about to die but you are not yet sure how.

Months ago?

Today Claude (Sonnet 5 - Medium) hit me with this one when chatting about a bcrypt issue:

Bug we hit and fixed months ago

Apparently, we “spoke” about this bug months ago and actually fixed it. Huh? Let me show you the initial prompt I used to kick off the chat:

First prompt of the chat

It clearly says 20 July (of course 20 July this year). What’s happening here? Am I just about to be in a day-time horror?

Is this hallucination? Is this from someone else’s chat? I don’t know, it’s such a small thing but why does it leave me in a state of discomfort?
