It's not clear when Elon Musk's plan to launch a Tesla robotaxi business will happen, but Waymo's autonomous ridehail service is already generating meaningful revenue. It could soon see considerably more if it can avoid major safety setbacks. https://www.forbes.com/...

Also, “reporting always gets ripped off” is, err, some rebuttal and, again, misses the point.

Perplexity has now updated their forgery of our reporting to list us as the *third* citation after 2 reblogs of stories we broke, and to add an inline attribution to Forbes that, lol, points to Business Insider's reblog of our most recent work. [image]

1. Lol. Nice story placement, Perplexity. 2. But it misses the point. Beyond attribution **The company took our paywalled work, without our permission, and competitively broadcast it across web, video, mobile — as though it were itself a media outlet.**

Our reporting on Eric Schmidt's stealth drone project was posted this AM by @perplexity_ai . It rips off most of our reporting. It cites us, and a few that reblogged us, as sources in the most easily ignored way possible. Note the views. #zeroclick https://www.forbes.com/... [image]

@AravSrinivas @perplexity_ai You scraped and repurposed investigative reporting gathered over months, fleshed it out with re-blogs of the same story by other outlets, and do not even bother to name us in your regurgitated post beyond a"Sources" link, which is click to expand. [image]

Btw @AravSrinivas and @perplexity_ai, the two investigative stories you copied were behind our paywall. Is scraping and republishing premium stories another “rough edge” you're working on? That @markgurman Apple scoop was also paywalled.
