I wouldn't punch him with that crash helmet on
Wait, sorry, that's his fucking hair
So they would be offering content to the NYT sourced from the NYT? From Wikipedia
“In October 2024, The New York Times (NYT) sent a cease-and-desist notice to Perplexity to stop accessing and using NYT content, claiming that Perplexity is violating its copyright by scraping data from its website.”
“The cease-and-desist notice sent by NYT lawyers read in part: "Perplexity and its business partners have been unjustly enriched by using, without authorization, The Times's expressive, carefully written and researched, and edited journalism without a license." “
Okay, so people will finally stop telling me how amazing Perplexity is, right?
Believing your own hype is acceptable, to a point. Realistically, you kinda have to when you’re the CEO of a company that makes a product many experts are reasonably skeptical of.
The key is to maintain a bit of objectivity and know the limitations of AI. What may seem like success would only turn out to be a PR disaster for Perplexity when it failed. Other AI CEOs know this. That’s why they’re not lining up outside the Time’s office to promote their services.
Ultimately, this only makes Srinivas look like an overexcited kid who doesn’t truly understand his own product.
I think the real dick move is offering up their services as digital scabs.
Yeah, that doesn’t help, either. Bad move both ways.
scab cunt
Except it's their IT staff not their journalist. How is your AI going to reset the server.
Lmao
So that the NYT website can crash twice as fast?
Imagine being a high-ranking NYT exec, watching a computer hellbrain churn for a few minutes and spit out a five letter word.
"See? We can help!"
