  1. Who really is Wes Rroth and what are their motivations? Yes They’re. Plural! Don’t be sucked in by hype and hyperbole peeps!!
    Wes Roooth nuthin but an AI copy cat troll
    They tout. AI. BUSINESS MONEY??? your money into their bbbeeesss YouTube nonsense. Start thinking for yourself

  2. This will remove the profit motive for most crappy sites. Marketers are the ones who ruined the Internet. This will take us back to the days of websites with a purpose other than 5 Best Generators for Camping in Northern Main with your Teenage Daughters. People used to make incredible resources for the passion. I was one of them. Then the marketers came.

  9. So this video helped clarify what the future pitfall is: force feeding artificial intelligence bullšit.

    If we all rely on A.I. then our enemies will force feed A.I. until it's full of crap.

    The Death of Journalism has been alarming me for a while now. But this is really scary. A.I. is only as smart, intelligent, compassionate, and wise as we make it. If the new model of the world is this, then we have to find ways to stop the incentivization of propaganda, exploitation, and non-stop scams in our economies, because otherwise, that is infect the A.I. hive mind and destroy everything.

    Sources are great. But now we, as a society, must find a way to incentivize good sources to exist. If all the sources are bad, then the A.I. will be bad, so we should prioritize this.

  12. I went to university and the biggest takeaway I got from the process was the ability to reference many sources from different and diverse perspectives. I believe that this should not be lost when AI comes into force as if you believe the first thing that any source tells you then this is a flawed method. Perplexity / google open AI are all biased but so are human “experts” it is still sensible to refer across a couple of platforms and sources and then critically think and make up your own mind. Don’t get lazy and comfortable in your own echo chambers. Constantly challenge your own bias and be open to new ideas. Remember we don’t know anything and people will look back at us in the future the same way we look back to people who didn’t understand illness and blamed witchcraft or thought the earth was flat
    👍🏻

  14. I use Perplexity AI quite often. I haven't found an AI that's any better for now; it suits my needs. I use quite a few other AIs, and like the way Google's AI (Bard -> Gemini) allows me to save content directly to Google Docs.

    Those detestable media websites have to survive and receive payment, otherwise all of these search engines won't have anything to scrape from.

  17. Do you know how the future of internet will become if everyone uses perplexity? There will be no updated pages for us to read.

    These annoying ads are there to reward the writer for providing the informative. Ai dont need to eat. But still cost electricity. Whose paying for electricity if there are no revenues?

    Nobody is writing any updates pages. So what is it searching for down the road?

  18. This was good. I was a beta tester for Pa, and have used it everyday ever since. In the early days, I would punch up philosophy questions and have long, fun conversations punching it into a contradiction. I don't have Pro though, and it was very cool seeing the custom search procedures, image, and PDF analysis. Some of the other features i wasn't aware of was focus and the ginormous list of online models in playground – my ears immediately perked up when I saw codellama and mixtral 8x7b on there, too. On the downside of Pa, I use it for a lot of mathematical, statistical, and AI research, especially when I have a new idea and want to see if anyone's implemented it, and yes, it does hallucinate. It will say the idea has been implemented, and as support use papers, each one of which has pieces of the idea, but not the whole idea. Usually on further dialog I can get it to admit that it was mistaken, but often I can't get past the point that it is convinced that the papers really describe what I'm talking about. I've tried it with coding, and usually that is a long conversation to get it to fix misconceptions – I'm eager to try out codellama, though, and see how it does. One thing I've noticed is, in spite of claims that GPT-3.5 isn't getting worse over time, the default LLM seems to be getting worse over time – sometimes it's profoundly stupid. The supplement search was very interesting to me, and is something I often use for biological searches – summarizing research, drawing up tables in particular markdown format of micronutrient breakdowns, writing LaTeX versions of equations, etc. And yes, Derek does know what he's talking about, and Gorilla is a good buy. Thanks for this tips and tricks! Now if I could only use it in Obsidian…

  19. Applications such as Perplexity won't be a threat to social media. People love interacting with others, whether it's liking a heart icon and replying to others. Social media provides a space for sharing ideas, opinions, gifs, videos, etc. This is why Reddit, Tiktok, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, and so on, are so popular. Bard, Chat GPT, Perplexity are soulless interfaces that don't offer social interaction that people want. They are great for information but that's about it. They will most likely replace search engines, wikipedias, dictionaries, etc.
