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.

This. We now have proof positive that network effects are stronger than it repulsion at hostile changes.

On that note, Facebook going all in on AI slop is brilliant. Most users will stay at the trough for ever increasing lengths of time.

twitter is fantastic man. it's great. i do miss hearing from (liberal) people who for whatever reason can't stomach people not agreeing with them. i hope they come around. like why does steven king care? i like his books, just talk about the books/his life. i never cared about his politics either way. if you can't separate your life from politics ughhh he's supposed to be smart. sad so many smart liberal people act like all the people i grew up with in church.
