I asked it "who is" questions about my wife and myself. It gave correct information about my wife, who's become much more visible online in the last several years.

I, on the other hand, have become less visible, and although my name isn't particularly common, there are a few other people around the world with the same name. So it decided that I was a freakishly multi-talented person who worked as a Wall Street trader, actor, astronomer, rugby player and writer. While amusing, at least 40% of this was wrong, but I didn't have the time to tell it that.

Hopefully the forces of evil will consult Perplexity on their way to my door, and be misdirected.

Mention 23andme's shenanigans to your friendly local State Attorney General.
Mention 23andme's shenanigans to your friendly local TV News investigative / problem-solving reporter.
Both of these people would probably find the shenanigans extremely interesting.
And "all publicity is good publicity" for 23andme, right?

The ever rising Palestinian population shows the utter, brutal effectiveness of Israeli genocide.

A Zionist friend has made this same argument, which I haven't dignified with a response in our chats since it's the least defensible of his arguments.
It's right up there with Sideshow Bob's "ATTEMPTED murder? Do they award a Nobel for ATTEMPTED chemistry?"

Trust me, if "you can't charge us with genocide because it wasn't successful" were a good argument to make, we would've heard it before.

Yes, ARPA-E is not at all a "division" of DARPA. It's totally Department of Energy, while DARPA is Department of Defense.

There's also ARPA-H under the National Institutes of Health, and IARPA under the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

I may be missing / forgetting others.

My guitarist friend Chris isn't currently signed to a label, so who would you propose he take it up with?

(He has pointed out that Spotify's latest/forthcoming policies involve not paying independent artists anything at all and suggested that folks stream his songs somewhere, anywhere, else.)
