Columbus hoarding case sees 27 dogs rescued and recovering - WSYX

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
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 ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
What are the most popular recruiting tools in the US?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
