    nothing to see here, just a sitting US president launching new companies and using the power of the office to promote his new companies.

      And it’s an AI search that I’m sure will provide accurate and reliable information.

    Hmm I wonder what kind of information “Truth search” will be showing…?

    There is a cool self-hosted version of Perplexity out there now, called Perplexica. It can be configured to use Ollama (local inferencing) and your own, self-hosted SearXNG instance to do the actual search and collation.

    I have been using it for a week and it really works.

    According to the announcement, “the mission of Trump Media is to end Big Tech’s assault on free speech by opening up the Internet and giving people their voices back.” Which is a funny thing to put in an announcement about Trump partnering with a company whose investors include Jeff Bezos, Nvidia, and the former CEO of GitHub.

    Ah yes, the freeze peach absolutist who is also the president that has attacked free speech the most in my lifetime wants to stop “Big Tech’s assault” by… creating an AI chatbot.

    Genius. Never would have thought to do that myself. In fact, even if I did think to do it, I never would have done it, assuming my goals were the stated goals.
