Seeing a lot of people recently saying perplexity has the potential to compete neck-and-neck with Google in the search engine market. What's your opinion on this?
- What makes perplexity unique?
- Isn't it just another GPT wrapper?
I heard about it
In tech, everything is a wrapper:
• Next.js is a wrapper over React
• React is a wrapper over JavaScript
• JavaScript is a wrapper over C++
• C++ is a wrapper over Assembly
• Assembly is a wrapper over 1s and 0s
It’s wrappers all the way down:
• Cursor is a wrapper over VS Code
• VS Code is a wrapper over Electron
• Electron is a wrapper over Chromium
• Chromium is a wrapper over C++
• C++ is a wrapper over Assembly
• Assembly is a wrapper over 1s and 0s
"Just a GPT wrapper."
"Just a VS Code clone."
Yet they're worth billions.
Same tools. Same time.
But they shipped. You scrolled.
Maybe it’s time we stop spectating and start building.
Cursor didn’t wait. Why are you?
