(Fwiw I like that he owns Twitter now if for nothing more than the schadenfreude)

If you're using the term "value" to refer to monetary value, yes. If you're using it to refer to some other kind of value, it probably isn't relevant to the viability of the proposed merge.
I guess the PP question was like "what real world problems could solve an AI trained on TikTok videos?". Sociology research, maybe.

Are you referring to the firehose of covid misinformation spewed out of Facebook, or some other grift?
To be clear I wasn't blaming just the Gov't for all the censorship, because 99% of Facebook employees (including Zuck himself) were strongly in favor of censoring all conservative viewpoints, as well, and were in lock-step with Big Gov't controlling speech. Zuck recently tried to blame it all on the FEDs (on JRE podcast) but he was obviously lying because Facebook even built a special portal for the FEDs to log into,…

Perplexity is a pretty awesome and much needed app, but Aravind Srinivas has many posts on X reek of a desperate need to succeed - scruples aside. To me that signals an inevitable enshitification.
After the non-exodus from Reddit and Twitter enshittification is a given, in time. It's been proven not to sink a business.

They would be buying one of the largest amounts of user generated data in the world. Sounds good to train on.
The entire point is that Perplexity is several orders of magnitude smaller than ByteDance and just making the offer is a sign of immaturity.
This is obviously not going to happen, and it's absurd anyone's really engaging with it as a serious proposition. But, because they have a new cycle behind it a lot more people are talking about Perplexity than Claude etc.

Please explain why do you think they're the most useful by far? Just curious of such a bold statement in a highly competitive space.
Not OP but it used to be that if you wanted an LLM that would cite its sources - Perplexity was one of the only games in town that did a really good job combining an LLM with an active search engine. It was also much better for posing questions that required the most up-to-date knowledge.
It's a shame because Perplexity is BY FAR the most useful AI tool out there. This shows they have clearly no vision and won't be able to keep afloat.
My cousin also submitted a bid to merge with TikTok, not sure why that’s not being reported on?!?
Did your cousin raise $500 million? If not, that might be it. He needs big time investors to get his bid on the media radar.
$500M is nothing to sneeze at, but that is like 3 orders of magnitude less than TikTok’s value.
