Hope someone manages to get the system prompt from this thing, want to see what absolutely deranged bullshit they put there.
nothing to see here, just a sitting US president launching new companies and using the power of the office to promote his new companies.
I mean, the fat fuck was hucking beans out of the oval office, nobody did a fucking thing, so this is a bridge too far now or what ?
The yanks are still too comfortable to do anything about the blatant fascism rising in their country. Rich right wingers have pulled off the amazing feat of keeping people happy with bread and circuses and convincing them to look at the evil foreigners whilst they’re robbed blind. It’s happening in other democracies as well.
I fear the US is just the beginning. The EU is growing more right wing and the UK is looking at giving Nigel Farage total power in 3 years time. Forecast does not look too good.
the fat fuck
plz try to criticize our fascist leaders without body-shaming. it’s not a good look on you.
nobody did a fucking thing, so this is a bridge too far now or what ?
I mean, nobody in this community was happy about the Trumpcoin or any of the other previous self-promotion attempts, either. What were we supposed to do?
What were we supposed to do?
Actually protest with direct action. Whining online and walking around with a sign once a month doesn’t do shit against a fascist.
Organize. Disrupt. Disobey.
The situation on the ground is rarely reflected accurately on the internet. We are organizing. We are disrupting. Do you think the black-baggings in L.A. just dropped off by accident? That’s been a combined front of legal and quasi-legal activity. When we’re up to something good, you probably won’t hear about it. The news doesn’t like those stories, and we don’t exactly advertise.
We’re also marching. The news covers that because it’s uncontroversial.
What makes you think that that is the only way to protest? And what makes you think we aren’t already doing that to our maximum ability? You are making a lot of assumptions about Americans (assuming you are Canadian from your choice of server). We all have careers to maintain, families and friends to support, homes to clean, debts to repay, meals to cook, laundry to fold, mental illnesses to manage, etc etc. We can’t just drop all that to go follow around ICE cars 24/7 and rotate in and out of jail, life doesn’t work like that. I’m not going to sit here and pretend i am doing the most that I can do, but there’s a reason I haven’t been maximally-engaged. Fighting fascism is exhausting, but so is daily life. There’s a reason more concerned people don’t go to protests - the billionaires have deliberately destroyed our social safety nets to make daily life so exhausting that protesting is a high hurdle to climb.
Your grandparents stormed the beaches at Normandy and you’re whining and making excuses about why you’re letting your country slide into fascism.
Is this what you’re going to tell your grandkids when they ask why you didn’t stop it?
“Home of the brave”. Maybe long ago.
Your grandparents stormed the beaches at Normandy
Oh, so what you actually want is for us to dash our bodies upon the stones and get shot to death by cops, is it? What a completely reasonable ask! One that I’m sure you won’t be doing yourself, of course. That’s our job.
I’m not your footsoldier. I’m not throwing myself into a fire just because you’re unsatisfied with the action being taken. I have a life to live, and I’m barely managing that as it is. Your criticism is less than worthless.
Your advice wouldn’t fix America. It’d just get us all killed. If you want to be frustrated, find a more productive way to do it.
More assumptions about me and mine. The history is not so simple. My grandparents stormed beaches because that was what the president told them to do, and because the country itself was literally under attack by an outside enemy. It wasn’t a noble personal sacrifice in the same way - soldiers risked their lives and went through hell, but they also did so with a guarantee that they would get something in return if we won the war. I’m not going to get paid to protest, and I will be demonized by my employer and the federal government. And I don’t know my great grandparents’ exact views on racial politics, but I would estimate most of those same soldiers took no issue with the whites-only bathrooms they used on a daily basis before and after the war. Why didn’t they do anything about that? Was that “brave” of them to turn the other cheek to all the problems the country was facing at that time?
I’m pretending to be brave or courageous. I try to be disruptive in my job and compassionate to my neighbors, and that in itself is already difficult and risky. It’s very easy to tell people to do more when you have no similar obligation to act.
the country itself was literally under attack by an outside enemy
Your country is literally under attack by an inside enemy
a guarantee that they would get something in return if we won the war.
You’ll get your democracy.

And it’s an AI search that I’m sure will provide accurate and reliable information.
Alternative title: Perplexity financially supports fascists.
Hmm I wonder what kind of information “Truth search” will be showing…?
It probably just asks Grok in the background using the full “you are MechHilter” prompt.
…results that are complicated and intricate leaving users bewildered.
Perplexity is certainly an interesting choice for a company name. Coincidence perhaps?
Obviously the truth duh
Pravda
According to the announcement, “the mission of Trump Media is to end Big Tech’s assault on free speech by opening up the Internet and giving people their voices back.” Which is a funny thing to put in an announcement about Trump partnering with a company whose investors include Jeff Bezos, Nvidia, and the former CEO of GitHub.
Ah yes, the freeze peach absolutist who is also the president that has attacked free speech the most in my lifetime wants to stop “Big Tech’s assault” by… creating an AI chatbot.
Genius. Never would have thought to do that myself. In fact, even if I did think to do it, I never would have done it, assuming my goals were the stated goals.
There is a cool self-hosted version of Perplexity out there now, called
Perplexica. It can be configured to use Ollama (local inferencing) and your own, self-hosted SearXNG instance to do the actual search and collation.I have been using it for a week and it really works.
I’m sorry, but the problems with modern-day LLMs and GenAI run far deeper than “who hosts it.”
If you say so. I’m just trying to be helpful instead of offering scare quotes.
