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

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Where did cosmic rays come from? Astrophysicists are closer to finding out - Phys.org
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:
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
What are some ballbusting stories?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
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):
What are some downsides to living in Newfoundland and Labrador (besides the weather)?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
