Last week, host Peter Csathy wrote not once but twice about Perplexity in his companion newsletter. And for good reason. He first posted an analysis based on The New York Times’ recent “cease and desist” demand to Perplexity. And then News Corp actually filed formal litigation against Perplexity for similar reasons.
Perplexity responded to News Corp's litigation. Not in the actual courts. Rather, in the court of public opinion. It posted its response on its official blog. You can read its full response here. Suffice it to say, it’s exactly what you would expect it to be. And Peter gives his own response to Perplexity's response in this week's newsletter.
In this episode, our two synthetic co-hosts discuss Csathy's response in the overall context not only of the actual litigation, but in the overall Zeitgeist of generative AI and society. (Peter generated it by simply dropping the text of his "Open Letter" into Google's NotebookLM).
PETER'S NOTE: I "authorize" it. I've listened to the discussion. It is remarkably sophisticated in its discussion - and is worthwhile for listening.
