Would you trust Perplexity in a natural disaster? Perplexity may be coming to every Samsung phone. In a world with 7X more natural disasters, I hope they'll do the work it will take to be accurate and helpful around the world.

tip @techmeme do people still do that?? ;).
If Perplexity comes to every Samsung phone, that means it's going to be a part of natural disaster response around the world. Kids born today will face up to 7X more disasters. Will @Perplexity be able to help, even in adversarial scenarios? My thoughts:

This just seems positive in every way.
NYC’s long-awaited traffic & pollution reduction program launched in Jan after years of study, public hearings, regulatory procedures, court cases, an unexpected pre-launch pause & a reset. But there has been one constant: Congestion pricing is working.

We’ve been continuously raising the temperature of the earth for 400 years. The entire Industrial Revolution has been emitting GHG into the atmosphere & we’re now standing atop 400 years of it. Reminded that reading an article in @CSORG this morning.
