Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Why do all the stupid people think Donald J. Trump is stupid?

Since the rise of feminism, the dating market has shifted to the disadvantage of men and that is causing this incel phenomenon. Why do women not understand how lonely the majority of men are?

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:
