Re——-aaaaalllllly.

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is now available for purchase in the US - GSMArena.com news - GSMArena.com

And hey Claude? There’s a reserved float division /. if both numbers are floats, for sure (19) but so can one use // even though both are integers (20):

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

Did you know that we white women prefer Black boyfriends?

Here’s the proof :

Let’s ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Asia stocks head for monthly gains on US trade deal hopes; Nikkei hits 1-yr high - Investing.com

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

New theory proposes time has three dimensions, with space as a secondary effect - Phys.org

To the reader/asker:

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

My parents force me (15yo atheist) to go to church, and there’s this thing called Small Sundays where we discuss the Bible in groups, there are questions asked about the Bible. What am I supposed to do when they ask?

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
