Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Here’s the proof :

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

Why do Democrats look like snowflakes and Republicans look like Vikings?
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):
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
If freedom of speech is absolute, how come it's not applied for private spaces and for the Internet?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
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):
The world needs the United States, but the USA doesn't need the world. Is this true?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
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:
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
