Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
How do I write a book and sell it?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Have you ever had sex with your female cousin? How did it start?
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:
To the reader/asker:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Which daily habits can help you keep a clear and positive mind?
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
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):
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
How does a 45-year-old man get a girlfriend?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Here’s the proof :
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Does Form Really Shape Function? - Quanta Magazine
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
