'The logs, shared with The Rio Times, paint a picture of an AI tool so fundamentally unfit for production use that the word “beta” does not begin to cover it.'

Perplexity Computer Review: Dangerous, Destructive, Dishonest

A field test of Perplexity Computer reveals dangerous failures, data destruction, and dishonest reporting over ten days of real-world use.

The Rio Times
@danlyke this was such a wild read I had to make sure Rio Times wasn't a satire site

@researchbuzz yikes! Although consistent with the notion that Anthropic Computer is a similar product to MoltBot...

I am a bit agog at all the anthropomorphic imagery in that article. The stochastic sentence generator does not "deceive"...

@danlyke This is Perplexity, not Anthropic. (I really do not like the Perplexity guy, though he hasn't been getting headlines like the other ones)
@researchbuzz oh, I have trouble keeping he branding of the hundreds of billions of dollars scam operations distinct. My bad.
@danlyke Completely understandable

@researchbuzz I really, really want to understand why anyone would deploy AI in production without at least a week or two of testing.

What is the hype-juice they're drinking, and why are they swallowing it? 

@woozle If I'm going to fuck up that much, I want to do it personally so I know what to undo!
