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

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

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

Plane from Indianapolis diverted to Tulsa due to weather ahead of NBA Finals Game 1 - KOKH

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):

Here’s the proof :

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

Miley Cyrus Recalls How She Used to 'Hide' Drug Spending From Her Accountant - TooFab

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

To the reader/asker:

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Were there any friendly fire incidents involving American submarines, aircraft carriers, or battleships during World War II or World War I?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

If you are doing these 6 things, then you’re accidentally making your vegan meals unhealthy - VegOut

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

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

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:

What is the best sunscreen in India for oily sensitive skin?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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