Re——-aaaaalllllly.

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

To the reader/asker:

What is the original source of the discord between Princes Harry and William? Does it go back to their childhood, or did it start with Meghan Markle?

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

Here’s the proof :

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Derek Carr explains his decision to give up $30 million and retire - NBC Sports

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

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

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):

Do Brits realize that Andrew Tate is the one who will liberate their country from tyranny by becoming prime minister?

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

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:

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

UNAIDS Executive Director: ‘The HIV Response Is in Crisis’ - Bloomberg.com

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

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.

What are the logical reasons against requiring an ID to vote in the USA? If the government offered to provide IDs for this purpose I fail to see why people are against it.

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

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