I think Jason is going to up his grade on Perplexity after using it for a week. Sunny was doing a commendable job stsying measured with his pushback on J Cal not seeing the merit in Perplexity

[@knextkoder]

Very hard to tell that Sunny is using a background...but you can see the tip of his collar glitching

[@phillaysheo8]

You think he is really in his mom's basement, and just covering it up?

[@jdchannelviewer]

Jason rocking what looks like the same glasses I had in grade 9, in 1992. I hated those glasses and have been wearing contacts ever since...

[@user-dv4lv2vh9x]

Why do I feel like Jason is going to whack somebody and pull off in a 73 Fleetwood.

[@susan908]

I am curious how all this will work with data that is behind paywalls, such as federal/state court documents and if the LLM companies will pay for access so the cost will no longer fall on the average citizen

Jason doesn't like the technical process. He longs for the day of true AI editing - where he can just create in his mind, and just speak into a mic on the computer and say "do this, and do that, and put a mountain behind it, and make the sky a richer blue". Jason’s dream is to not be able to play an instrument, but just hum a tune into a microphone, and say "make that a guitar, make that a string section, make that a female vocalist - and can ChatGPT fix up the rough lyrics that I created". Jason - you are the enemy of every single person who has technical abilities in our industry. This includes DPs, DITs, editors, compositors, matte painters, colorists, sound designers, composers, trained musicians. You just want it all to be easy, so without any studying or suffering, you can just "make it happen". ps - CMX linear editing had voice commands long before AVID was even a thought. No one used it. Also, Jason is a Marvel fanboy. So it doesn’t surprise me that he’s impressed by the soulless “art” that AI produces.

Cry me a river

[@robertritz3232]

Jason wants to "clean up" hallucinations, but it's an inherent part of the technology. It's almost impossible to remove it without also hindering other capabilities of the model.

[@axiojg]

Also the Grizzlies 13 of 15 in the west and aren't in the playoffs or the play-in this year. You/Y"all needs some work but Perplexity is cool, a little slow but useful. Perplexity needs that Groq speed

[@kyleward5249]

Perplexity IS 10x better than google

[@Buy_YouTube_Views_Gain_Fame301]

The only downside is that it ends too soon.
