These companies want to have their cake and eat it, too. They want it to be legal for them to use AI to jack prices up to the absolute limit we're willing to pay, but don't want to let us use it to find a better deal. Fuck 'em. Especially fuck Amazon. It'd be funny if the result of this was that Perplexity specifically omitted Amazon from that search, so their users were always directed to competitors, instead of sometimes.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
