    Oh, okay. Well obviously fuck this guy. I can’t imagine being enough of an asshole to see staff go on strike and your first thought is ‘let me pitch my shitty AI!’

    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.

    After many years of people misusing the word Luddite, it’s time to bring back its actual meaning.

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

        Does it do what Perplexity does?

        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.

    Before this story, I had no opinion on Perplexity.

    Now I hope this product dies in a fire.
