What if the girl says that drama about you dating here? Is that a bad sign?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
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:

Have you ever witnessed a remote beach show where hundreds of turtles crawling to the water?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
