Perplexity Is Going After Google | Interview, CEO Aravind Srinivas

[@saimanojb]

This was a great episode. What I gathered from here is that utilities like Perplexity will kill the internet.

[@wonmoreminute]

Thanks for calling him out, especially on behalf of small local journalists.

[@JWCat757]

Seconded!

[@bermuge1]

I agree as well. I think in the future when Bing and Google align with journalists' interests, Perplexity will pick up the pieces and just be the bad guy in AI, selling off journalists' work.

[@real23lions]

@e1 i'm skeptical of Perplexity too but Bing and Google align with journalist interest's? They rarely align with their users. Their products have been getting worse. Bing and Google have been scraping websites for decades. One thing for sure is they only align with corporations.

@@BadWithNames123 ... U mad, bro? 😆

[@MrNick99]

Great work.

[@brandonreed09]

Websites should probably just block the webcrawler from Perplexity since they aren't incentiving people to go to the website. Either that or Perplexity should pay them for the content used.

[@SerendipityLuo]

The hosts are a bit unfair, because their real concern is the business model of their profession (journalism). It is for the journalists to figure out how to adapt to the technological trend, not the other way around.

[@brycetidwell7193]

I like the summaries of information. They save the user a lot of work and reading. Maybe adds from the source documents could be shown on Perplexity featuring a list of related articles and topics from that source (articles from NY Times freely advertised as a token of payment). Or money payments for the number of reference links used per day from each source that is not publicly available free data.

the point of content is to get someone to read what you wrote IN A PLACE WHICH IS BENEFICIAL TO YOU AI people really just talk nonsense all the time, makes sense they think AI is so good

[@erikfiala]

Krawl AI is a pretty awesome alternative

[@energysavingday]

The commoditisation of content will just accelerate. News publishers produce similar content so need to avoid a race to the bottom mediated by bots

[@keithsweatshop]

Aravind looks like a G after the pressure applied by those two dudes.

[@fabianmosele2321]

god, he's just the essence of SV techies. Let's use a LLM for all this use cases. Do we need that? No, but doesnt matter!

[@spol]

Millions of users say you’re wrong. You’re the essence of a sv hater. No actual substance.

[@PrashantTayshetye]

This man is awesome and Naive at the same time :)

[@RutledgeDaugette]

"If more people see that, it's good for you." No, no it's not. You get to make money, but we don't? Awareness doesn't pay my team. Gross negligence from another AI platform.

[@sandeshadarsh]

Good cop bad cop routine

[@abdulkhaliq5149]

This episode just confirmed that Perplexity is just another Wrapper startup. Sad to see people want to jump into the AI race to make money and doesn't care much about the society and the impact

[@axeemx]

I don’t think perplexity will last long. Google has powerful LLM. they just need connect to a flow. Thats the real deal. Once they done it,other players will be dusted.

[@ebarth877]

Oh dear…the journalistic privilege of being seen? This out of touch mentality is almost diabolical within AI .. Some constructive feedback for Aravind: focus groups and media training

[@bengarvin]

love hard fork and the vibe, but in truth, tired of Kevin's lame and sorta mean platformer disses.

[@kishanvyas4634]

Dude, they're very good friends. It didn't come across as mean or lame to me.
