Aravind Srinivas (Perplexity) tells Lex all the ways in which I was right against the prevalent ideas of the time: DL, ConvNets, energy-based models, SSL, the limitation of RL, and now the limitations of auto-regressive generative models including LLMs.
Thanks Aravind!

Today is “Liberation Day” at OpenAI as multiple senior executives announce they are leaving the company.

• Bill Peebles, Head of Sora
• Kevin Weil, VP of OpenAI for Science
• Srinivas Narayanan, CTO of B2B Applications

It’s notable that they aren’t waiting for the IPO.

my fav guy of this type is Srinivas Ramanujan, who got invited to Trinity at the demand of GH Hardy because he sent him the greatest cold email of all time and had to be coached on how to retrofit his solutions to proofs because "my family goddess appeared in a vision and solved it" wouldnt cut it

In an All-In interview, Aravind Srinivas said it was fine that people would lose their jobs because people don’t like them anyway. Instead, they could just make their own AI-powered mini-business.

It’s a narrative not unlike what we saw after the financial crisis.

disconnect.blog/sacrifice-yo...
There’s a lot they want us to sacrifice in the pursuit of that goal: our information environment, human creativity, the quality of our communities, the health of our pocketbooks, and maybe even truth itself. But they’re not stopping there. The glorious AI future must be realized “even if there is temporary job displacement to deal with,” says Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas. Worried about losing your job? Srinivas wants you to see it as an opportunity. “People don't enjoy their jobs” anyway, he assured the All-In Podcast last month. Not to mention everyone being thrown into unemployment can just start their “own mini-business” with the help of the very tools making them redundant.

Companies used to try to hide this, now they just blurt it out.
CEO Aravind Srinivas said this week on the TBPN podcast that one reason Perplexity is building its own browser is to collect data on everything users do outside of its own app. This so it can sell premium ads. “That’s kind of one of the other reasons we wanted to build a browser, is we want to get data even outside the app to better understand you,” Srinivas said. “Because some of the prompts that people do in these AIs is purely work-related. It’s not like that’s personal.” And work-related queries won’t help the AI company build an accurate-enough dossier. “On the other hand, what are the things you’re buying; which hotels are you going [to]; which restaurants are you going to; what are you spending time browsing, tells us so much more about you,” he explained.

Wine industry person here in Napa. Wine sales are declining even across wealthier brands because normal people cannot afford to splurge on wine. The wine industry is suffering because of idiots like Aravind Srinivas and every wealthy executive. Go to hell. We hate you.
disabilitystor1.bsky.social Aparna Nair @disabilitystor1.bsky.social · Apr 21
He is also promising people a "glorious future" where there will be "one person, one-billion" companies instead, which people will run while "sipping wine in Napa valley."
And that the job displacements are just the prices other people must pay for his/other entrepreneurship/profits.
parismarx.com Paris Marx @parismarx.com · Apr 21
Perplexity’s CEO is just the latest tech leader to tell the public their jobs will be sacrificed on the altar of the glorious AI future.

It’s a compelling narrative, but it distracts us from the real impact of AI: not to take the human out of the loop, but to take away their power and cut their pay

While Sam Altman is the scammiest and Dario Amodei is the least likable/human acting CEO I do think that Srinivas is probably the slimiest of the bunch. When people at a newspaper went on strike he offered his tools to undermine labor. He's just a despicable piece of shit.
