Well no thanks
I am perplexed at he. Why the hell would I want this?
Fucking Perplexity can't give away licenses. T-mobile is giving Perplexity AI Pro licenses for free (to subscribers), they advertise it as if it's something worth something, it's hilarious. Then obviously not many users took the bait because they sent a mass e-mail (from the University) to all of the faculty giving all employees (not just teaching personnel) these valuable Perplexity AI Pro licenses, only hurry up because there's only 20k of these and it's first come first served. Still haven't used their shit and actually don't know anyone who does.
When you quit talking to potential customers and go right for the unhinged investors.
Is Chrome not doing exactly this?
Chrome doesn't really collect much data directly. It just has no protection against all the trackers on nearly every website that do.
Damn, and I really liked them too. It's the most accurate LLM I've tried and it even accurately cites sources as well (unlike Copilot, which just makes shit up and then cites an unrelated source).
Ok how long after this browser goes live till we hear it being used by the FBI to track criminals.
I have gotten a year Perplexity pro subscription for free somewhen in summer last year. Guess, I won’t even think about split second about paying for this service or even using it after my free year has run its course.
Perplexity ? More like Debility.
In mean it's what Google is doing for years now. Not saying it's good by any means but it's nothing new anymore.
A caveman-like idea from a caveman-lookin' mfer.
Jesus, that escalated quickly...
