I think what Perplexity is trying to build is cool, but seems like they do quite a bit of dodgy shit. On his recent appearance on the Lex Fridman episode, Perplexity CEO Srinivas admitted that they'd abuse Twitter's academic grant program and autogenerated thousands of grant applications with GPT. If he so laughingly reminisces about doing that, I wonder what kind of other dodgy shit they do behind closed doors.
