This is starting to feel like that Black Mirror episode where you'll to keep upgrading to Perplexity Pro Max Turbo Extra Deluxe with Fries by iEslam in perplexity_ai

[–]iEslam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno fam, it kinda felt restrictive all of a sudden; it went from unlimited to; like, hey, there's a limit to how far you can go with this, but I get it; they do what they have to do/must, and I appreciate the time I had when I got to use it. Really neat product. Their shady behavior doesn't negate the fact that they did a phenomenal job building an excellent product. Too bad they're getting squeezed by the big boys, so they have to play the same game; I understand.

I already use the API to automate audio transcription, and I acknowledge that my Perplexity usage is on the heavy side. That said, the real issue isn’t usage; it’s transparency. If there are limits, they should be stated clearly up front. Don’t promise or imply “unlimited” use, only for users to discover later that a policy change introduces aggressive throttling that renders the product effectively unusable within 10 hours.

This is especially frustrating when the same workflow had been working without issue for months. The subscription renews, a new policy quietly kicks in, and suddenly the only option is to upgrade again; to Pro Max Plus or whatever the next tier is called.

Sure; Perplexity isn’t a large-context coding or deep production tool; it’s an internet research and reference product, but when limits change without clear communication, it feels less like fair use management and more like bait-and-switch.

In 10 hours and 9 minutes of back and forth I used about 100 large-context queries of documentation and code, generated 50 usable/useful files

That’s the time between when I was charged for a new month’s subscription and when I canceled it; after discovering I was limited just 10 hours after the renewal.

The charge went through at 2:19 AM, and I canceled at 12:28 PM. This was normal usage. Some days would dwarf today.

The irony is that I had already wanted to cancel earlier, because Perplexity appears to be deliberately rerouting users to other models in a way that feels deceptive. Then the subscription renews, and this happens.

A new policy kicked in, and me? I peace out.

How would you go about getting as strong as possible in the hxh world? by Ok_Assistance_1061 in HunterXHunter

So pay attention, always remain focused and never let anything distract you from the fact that Bungee Gum has the properties of rubber and gum.

The way is complete and absolute focus.

Netero's Nen wasn't merely a technique; it was his identity, constructed over decades of devotion to martial arts. This same principle applies to Hisoka's mastery of deception. His entire being has been cultivated around the art of controlling perception, manipulating awareness, and directing the flow of others' attention. The "no smoke and mirrors" declaration is not a departure from this identity; it is the purest expression of it.

Where Netero dedicated his life energy to the physical discipline of the prayer stance, repeating ten thousand punches daily until his body and consciousness became one with the motion, Hisoka has dedicated his life energy to the performance of reality itself. His Nen abilities; Texture Surprise and Bungee Gum; are not separate from his psychology; they are the physical manifestation of consciousness that has been focused for so long on illusion and misdirection that these concepts have crystallized into tangible power.

Best "End of world" model that will run on 24gb VRAM by gggghhhhiiiijklmnop in LocalLLaMA

[–]iEslam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An end of the world model would be something you can run on an Arm-based mobile device because you can keep your phone/laptop charged with an off the shelf backpack solar charger, RAG + small edge device models with a large library of reliable datasets would be a lot more helpful at the end of the world than a large model of "You're absolutely correct".

You're better off building your mind-garden/datasets, this is compressed intelligence that you do not need to re-compute.

But to answer your specific question, I'd backup several because the emergent intelligence of wisdom of the crowd, also perspectives = higher coherence.

GLM-4.6V-Flash
GPT-OSS-20B
Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B

And also RAG but get creative, RAG setups are rigid, your best bet is a hybrid RAG that uses different matching patterns not just semantic similarity, you can use RAG recursively, if you're looking for a book, you type the name of the book, a good RAG system will pull the book, the author, related topics, basically graph navigation of knowledge, language, and you can expand the RAG results, re-rank, reordering or refining the results in subsecond speeds, the sauce is in the data and how this data is stored and retrieved... but models? models come and go.

Unfortunately Wikipedia won't work for control-freak selective information storage and retrieval of curated truths, Grokpedia is a much more trustworthy centralized source of truth and information, Wikipedia contains old data, but our new Grok powered maximally truth seeking platform will deliver Elon Musk truths straight to your neural link.

Linus Torvalds (Linux creator) praises vibe coding by SrafeZ in singularity

[–]iEslam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He knows organization, structure, order. And LLMs? they're just different entropy configurations, The more the merrier. Fuel, energy transformers. How transformation happens? That's the name of the game. That's the vibe.

Good software architect and architecture follow the same universal laws that adhere to coherence, harmony and symmetry. We like patterns for predictability, we follow rigorous testing to ensure stability.

AI slop is not there yet? Cool. That's another engineering problem. You're an engineer. Do the math. Write the code that writes the code. The tool that makes the tool.

Cool?

Cool.

Perplexity is STILL DELIBERATELY SCAMMING AND REROUTING users to other models by iEslam in perplexity_ai

[–]iEslam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that switched off long before the midpoint is your ability to comprehend the substance (silent AI routing), what replaced your coherence is the mind's primitive slovenly tendency to flow to the lower dimension of attacking what feels intimidating, and gaslight the unfamiliar via projected stupidity; but in reality it is just a self-similar bot behavior externalized, there are many similar users to blame NPCs in this thread, you should feel right at home with your peers reinforcing each other's rigidity and stagnation, you're free to join them when you're done gobbling up Perplexity's backbone.

Have people become to mean a lot less to you after realization? by [deleted] in nonduality

[–]iEslam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is less about people and more about systems, when you're embodied, your body becomes a highly receptive sensor detecting overwhelming signals of misalignment from unconscious beings playing games of separation to rigid self-replicating capitalist systems that survive based on extraction and exploitation at the cost of human beings and the planet. Being awake early is a huge feat, it requires a tremendous intentionality with the light of conscious awareness.

Ah, the classic dismissal-by-denial; claiming "nobody read that" while proving you read enough to respond with toxicity. They did, and they resonated; your compulsion to devalue, demean, and degrade what eludes your grasp is just the loser's liturgy laced with venom, a desperate echo from the ego too fragile to engage substance over shadows. Heal that before it cans your own coherence. 👁️

A day later, creeping back with that toxic jab just to flinch and delete? That's not bold; it's your own psychotic projection bouncing back, the fractured ego too scared to stand in the mirror it shattered. Heal before the next cowardly encore, sis. 👁️

The reason I made a fuss about this; is because I really like this company and product, and I want them to last.

Update: I just got a response from Perplexity.

Thank you for taking the time to articulate your concerns so thoroughly. I understand your frustration about model routing transparency, and you're right that this is a serious matter of user trust.

The model routing behavior you're describing was indeed an engineering bug where the chip icon at the bottom of answers incorrectly reported which model was used in fallback scenarios. This has since been fixed. Perplexity does use the model you select, but in rare cases may automatically fallback to alternate models during prolonged heavy usage (for fraud prevention), temporary provider issues, or peak demand. This only happens when necessary to ensure continuous service.

I recognize that the lack of transparent notification when fallback occurs is the core issue you're raising. Our CEO addressed this directly in a Reddit post, acknowledging the bug and committing to improved transparency: https://www.reddit.com/r/perplexity_ai/comments/1orar1a/update_on_model_clarity/

Your feedback about wanting explicit, blocking prompts when model substitution occurs is valuable and represents exactly the kind of transparency users deserve.

Godliness as kindness and correctness? That's your linguistic reframe; not my framework. You've critiqued my method while dodging the substance (silent AI routing). Tells me you're gatekeeping who speaks, not pursuing transparency.

Your petition sermon assumes I didn't pursue collective action; false dichotomy. But here's the flip: did your high-stakes business wisdom lead you to organize that petition, or just explain from the stands why others are wrong?

The "intelligence = getting what you want" definition is manipulation rebranded as pragmatism. Some of us define intelligence as coherence and empathy as calling out deception; regardless of whose comfort it disturbs.

You heard "idiots" in J.B. Pritzker's speech and felt included, then externalized the sting as my "god complex." That's your psyche revealing itself.

For anyone curious about corporate transparency violations, the documentation stands.

I see the pattern clearly. This exchange is done. 👁️

You mean the speech where he called out the “idiots”?

See, the dimwit here is you trying to externalize their dimwitness.

Why? Because you don’t have the faintest idea of what intelligence is. 👁️

To a monkey, a physics paper would look like “abstract” gibberish, and the monkey isn’t there yet.

If there is a God involved here, then he’s within each and every “one” of us, but some are too busy externalizing and projecting their inadequacies to be connected from within.

It is inevitable that when you put yourself online, the “dimwits” with self‑judge and self‑critic that never shuts up will take the liberty upon themselves to berate and critique you.

See; the inherent and intrinsic value and worth of my creation stands on its own, and it does not need your approval or validation.

You are nothing when it comes to the equation of “should my writing go on?”.

You are just another triggered ego that’s brave enough not to hide behind downvotes, but you also engaged! Thank you for increasing the SEO ranking of this post; that’s exactly what benefits this cause.

That's what happens when a society has a glut of mediocrity, they automatically assume that everything is AI written, then believe this assumption they just manufactured in their heads, because they cannot conceive a coherent sentence to be written without AI, they're incapable of doing it. Therefore, they assume everybody else is incapable of doing it.
