#22Lol not a chance, remember that they got into browsers because that's almost the same tech for web crawling. It's a core tech for their 1T mcap company
They got into browsers to make sure all the google properties (all web based) worked really well and weren't held back by Microsoft's dead-ending of web browser development.

#23This is a troll right by Aravind? $34B is nearly double the valuation of Perplexity. I find it hard to believe so called “multiple investment funds” agreed to pony up that much cash. Kind of childish by Aravind.
I'm pretty sure if Google agreed, they could come up with the money. Chrome is essentially the gateway to 90% of the world on the internet.
If Google agreed to just $34B, getting the cash would be so straightforward that even many random Joes on the street would be able to figure it out

With Chrome's market share? 10+ billion a year, certainly, as that would be only 3% of the ad volume. Can google sell, then have Alphabet Holding create Chrome2 based on Chromium, ripping off Perplexity?
Jesus how the fuck does advertising make such ungodly amounts of money.
Because it works really well

Because we spent an entire generation of the world’s most brilliant engineers on optimizing ad revenue.
Makes me sad, we could have been on Mars by now if we had decided that spaceflight was more important than social media.

#28PR stunt. Now we are all participating.

#29I get the feeling this Perplexity guy is a mix of SBF the bitcoin dude with the Palantir guy but actually dreams to be early Elon, or a troll. Maybe another another deep state plant? If we really want to go that road..
Either way, how does Perplexity even envisions to become a stable business? Let alone buying the browser with +80% worldwide share.

Because if you don't pay they bury you so low you will never sell anything.
