Wow they designed a computer I don’t want
> Personal Computer runs on a dedicated Mac mini that can run 24/7, connected to your local apps and Perplexity’s secure servers. https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/everything-is-computer They designed a program (copied OpenClaw) and called it a computer
Zombo.com
I thought of zombo.com the other day and booted it up. There is maybe no other website that continues to bring me as much joy as zombocom

> 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?…
I think their numbers of $1.6M and 3.25 years is still probably a massive overestimate, but the order of magnitude seems plausible.
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.

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

Do you feel the same about AWS?
Personally - yes. They may not come after all the niche companies, but they definitely come after the most successful markets, especially those with low effort moats. Same goes for relying on the Apple/Google app stores (ex - Apple literally got slapped in court for copying successful apps and then pushing their offering to the top of their stores... talk about wildly abusive behavior). I may still choose to use AWS/…
