Apparently #PerplexityAI CEO is annoyed that people are sharing that article where he is quoted saying that their browser will track everything users do to sell more ads.

> “That’s kind of one of the other reasons we wanted to build a browser, is we want to get data even outside the app to better understand you,” Srinivas said.

This is that article, in case you'd like to share it:

Had a dialogue with #PerplexityAI about Trump/Putin.

“While it remains unclear whether Trump is knowingly complicit or simply manipulated by Russia, his actions consistently benefit Putin... This dynamic raises serious concerns about the long-term implications for global democracy and stability.”

Ich habe mir für einen neuen Laptop jetzt mal 32 GB RAM und eine 2 TB NVMe SSD bestellt und habe mich mal umgeguckt, wie man denn eine Platte so klont, vor allem in #Linux. Videos reden von #Clonezilla oder #Foxclone. Dann ich habe mal #perplexityai gefragt und was kam heraus?

There was some uproar when the #AI in Apple’s #iOS notifications feature summarized news inaccurately. It turns out that this happens with the big #LLMs: #ChatGPT, #Copilot, #Gemini, and #PerplexityAI. The #BBC didn’t test #DeepSeek, but I’m willing to bet that it doesn’t work correctly too.

#shrug. I just cancelled my OpenAI subscription to give #perplexityai a try. I think we may need to update the philosophy and thinking behind robots.txt in the future. If I ask an AI to search for something and the AI scans a page on my behalf, isn’t that basically the same as me browsing to the page myself (at least as far as the “load management” purposes that are one motivation behind robots.txt)?
