Eww.
If the New York times wants to continue to be irrelevant entity in the world than they won’t take him up on that offer.
Are you saying that if NYC wants to continue to be relavent then they should agree?
fucking scab. and I liked perplexity too. won’t be using it again.
What could possibly go wrong?
Of course the one fucking service that’s actually useful for me acts like this… Ig I gotta find an alternative now…
This made me laugh so hard, thank you for sharing OP
So he’s an industrial scale scab.
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.
Cool. That’s bound to work out really well. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
After many years of people misusing the word Luddite, it’s time to bring back its actual meaning.
Do it. I fucking dare you. It’ll be fun to watch a media powerhouse and a douche meth lab burn each other down.
Damn. I liked Perplexity. Sucks to delete it, but this guy can fuck directly off.
I’m going to have to try the selfhosted variants now. What a huge piece of shit.
Any recommendations?
Perplexica is one example. I also seem to remember there is some way to integrate it with SearxNG which is a self hosted meta search engine.
GPT4All and then any model you like. I like mistral.
OpenWebUI? pretty easy to selfhost and works wonders on my rtx a6000
OpenWebUI says it’s designed to operate entirely offline - that’s not an alternative to Perplexity. I need online search functionality, that’s pretty much the only reason why I pay them. I have offline solutions set up on my pc.
Ditto! I run an old server, but would be willing to upgrade and self host a service instead of paying this ass hat any more money!
Okay, guys. Thanks!
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!’
It’s the entire point of AI, to replace the workforce.
If your entire workforce is ai and you don’t have any humans then how do humans who don’t have a job pay for your product?
The entire concept of replacing the workforce with AI falls apart when you spend more than 2 seconds thinking about it. Only way it would work is if we actually got rid of the entire concept of money.
They’re not thinking that far ahead. They’re thinking “how can I make the lines go up this quarter?”
That’s the entire point of capitalism. To generate as much profit from as little expense as possible. Unfortunately capitalism is predicated on a human workforce earning income to pay for goods and services, so at some point the economic engine will shutdown and capitalism will have killed capitalism. Either way, once the level of robotics + dumb AI is more cost effective than the available workforce in any role, that role will be eliminated. Once general AI is achieved and (especially once) the robots can build and repair themselves, the proles will either get star trek or whoever commands the killbots (including an AI) will rule humanity and inherit civilization.
NOTE: could happen at any time, but my bet’s on it not happening for many decades; possibly not for hundreds or thousands of years.
Ahh America. Land of the free, home of the Union busting corporations literally making robot scabs
