PopeBeanie replied to the topic Perplexity Pro AI for research and workflow, plus Comet browser in the forum
Artificial Intelligence 2 days, 16 hours agoPretty smart observations. I recently decided I want as much locally and cloud-stored files as possible for more efficient “workflow” and backup, one reason I chose Perplexity Pro.
Last prediction I noticed was that chip prices will come down near beginning of 2027. More companies want to manufacture chips, especially with Taiwan at higher risk…[Read more]

‘World-first’ vaccine designed by artificial intelligence.That’s so cool! I visualized a way to explain fairly simply how AI can do this, treating DNA/RNA just like another language.

Perplexity has a misapplied word. Less. Should have been least. Does it simply copy paste?The only place I see “less”, at least in Reg’s post, is in the word “tenseless”.

Artificial Intelligence 3 weeks, 6 days agoFortunately I could skim a LOT of that because I recognized most of it as something from the past. Which is irrelevant now, as is EVERYTHING, like the constructs of “before”, “I”, “past”, UPPERCASE, time, and misspellings are all irrelevent figments. So is this post. Every construct, whether constructed by human or flying squirrel, is an illusion,…[Read more]

Artificial Intelligence 4 weeks agoI’m switching from ChatGPT to Perplexity Pro [I’ll call “PP”], because I’m confident now in reports from other techies and authors, including their satisfaction with it. Currently $20/mth, plus the option of separately paid for “credits” that can be applied to deeper research.
I like how it easily creates PDFs for any session. The PDFs (and other…[Read more]

Inside-baseball trivia, for people in the habit of re-editing their posts. I’m the worst at re-editing, often tens of minutes after I’ve first posted them. I didn’t even realize until recently that only the very first post, i.e. before re-edits are made, is what shows up in list of new posts on the AZ home page.

@Unseen, watching a fancam live show because it’s recent and nearby… just gotta say, TW’s older songs still serve very well. They have enough fuel to last a long time.

Here’s the just-dropped OMV. I don’t like it at all, maybe the first TW OMV I don’t like. Waaaaay too flashing and blinky for me. Kind of like other modern-day OMVs, which apparently grab a lot of people’s attention.
