Before this story, I had no opinion on Perplexity.

Now I hope this product dies in a fire.

Wow, replacing striking staff is super illegal in France and I'm sure using AI instead of workers would still be a slam dunk in front of a court. I'm shocked that this isn't outright banned there.

The US president fired striking workers and 50% of the population want to go back to then.

The U.S. political Overton window being where it is today, I'm pretty sure it's much more than 50%

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Well it is generally believed to be much less but based on turnout 50% are reaganites.

i bet something will go wrong.

That is a FANTASTIC idea because AI is KNOWN to be SUPER STABLE and REALLY GOOD at what it's Designed to do! NYT will save a TON of Money fixing their DailyAI instead of Paying Workers!

What could possibly go wrong?

Of course the one fucking service that's actually useful for me acts like this... Ig I gotta find an alternative now...

Have you tried Kagi? It gets you access to Claude Sonnet, ChatGPT, Llama, Mistrel, etc.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I haven't actually, I'll check it out and maybe add an edit to this comment. I have actually tried two others though, I found then via alternativeto:

  • ayesoul.com
  • morphic.sh

Both of these are pretty great candidates, they both have quality content formats and are somewhat more comfortable to use than perplexity in their unique ways, mainly due to minimalism. A drawback of both are that they are slower to answer but not excruciatingly slow.

Does it do what Perplexity does?

Cross picket lines? /s

So he's an industrial scale scab.

And there it is, the actual reason the owning class are jizzing themselves over AI:

Finally they never have to worry about their underlings ever again, now they truly are everything and as self-reliant and self-made as they always told everyone from private school.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago

Cool. That's bound to work out really well. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
