How is it that this kind of organisation can't properly embed a video player or make a working landing page?
Who in their right mind is going to blindly trust an AI like that? There wasn't any review of the numbers, or even a hint of a "sniff test" on the output of the AI? Would a real person risk their reputation like that? -- With regard to the attempted redefinition of a commonly used term, I'm reminded of Gretchen, from the Mean Girls, trying to redefine "Fetch!"[1] It's just not going to happen.

>> Harvard, MIT > people are being paid too much to spend all day emailing each other Hmm, this does not sound exactly right. Also, does anybody seriously think that communication is not work, or is not important? A number of really impactful things started from people emailing each other. (Hell, Linux kernel development is still much about people emailing patches each other.)
I have several friends at the big 4 who work ~2 hour weeks.
I’ve been in that situation and died a little inside everyday. It’s not like being a rentier, because you still have to lose most of your day at the office and pretend to work, and be available in case some higher up needs something so you don’t get caught.
It might sound sweet but it’s hell.
> In a study of over 16,000 queries, measured against institutional benchmarks from McKinsey, Harvard, MIT, BCG, and others, we determined Perplexity Computer saved our internal teams $1.6M in labor costs and performed 3.25 years of work in only four weeks. And now we’re extending those same capabilities to other teams. This is a wild statement that does not seem to be supported by any actual data. What does it mean?…

> What does this mean? The computer isn't alive. But they want you to think of it as alive. They're anthropomorphizing it.
If you stop paying this subscription, this living computer with the googly puppy eyes gets it . You wouldn't want anything bad to happen to your best friend, would you? soft whimpering sounds
