Re——-aaaaalllllly.

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

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

Boris Johnson says that “Starmer picked a fraudster for his Cabinet because he is the fraudster-in-chief. And he knows, in his heart, that the whole government is a fraud.” Do you agree with Boris Johnson about Starmer?

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

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

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

Have you ever had a weird experience immediately following the death of a loved one that made you think there is an afterlife and that the deceased person was communicating with you?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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

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

For those who were actually old enough to have experienced the 1970s and not for those who were born in the 70s. What were the pros and cons of that era?

Here’s the proof :

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

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):

Who’ll be the odd man out in the Cleveland quarterback battle? - NBC Sports

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

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

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

We finally may be able to rid the world of mosquitoes. But should we? - The Washington Post

To the reader/asker:

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:
