To the reader/asker:
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
How do you find out who your handler is as a targeted individual?
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):
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Here’s the proof :
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 //):
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:
How will the article end in Part III of Gleissner's hit piece?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
What happens when you have paranoid schizophrenia?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
