  • I used to use reddit constantly, and did so for years. That level of hostility took over so gradually that I didn’t even consciously notice. I used Lemmy for a few weeks before it really sunk in that nobody had jumped down my throat over a minor, irrelevant issue (like a careless punctuation or grammatical error).

    People here tend to give each other the benefit of the doubt, which had become virtually unheard of on reddit. Even when people make replies I don’t agree with, they’re usually discussing the point rather than the way that point is presented.

    I will never, ever go back.











  • Believing your own hype is acceptable, to a point. Realistically, you kinda have to when you’re the CEO of a company that makes a product many experts are reasonably skeptical of.

    The key is to maintain a bit of objectivity and know the limitations of AI. What may seem like success would only turn out to be a PR disaster for Perplexity when it failed. Other AI CEOs know this. That’s why they’re not lining up outside the Time’s office to promote their services.

    Ultimately, this only makes Srinivas look like an overexcited kid who doesn’t truly understand his own product.
