Media Briefing: Here are the hurdles to Perplexity's pitch as the publisher-friendly LLM

Unlike the lump-sum AI training and content licensing deals favored by Amazon, Meta and OpenAI, it's building revenue share models that incentivize it to continue compensating publishers. But there are some major hurdles. In theory, the revenue share model around Perplexity's Comet Plus subscription tier announced this week sounds pretty good: publishers are paid based on how often their content is visited by humans and crawled by bots on its AI-powered browser Comet.

DOJ releases transcripts of interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend

WASHINGTON -- The Justice Department on Friday released transcripts of interviews its No. 2 official did with Jeffrey Epstein's imprisoned former girlfriend as the Trump administration scrambles to present itself as transparent amid a fierce backlash over an earlier refusal to disclose a trove of records from the sex-trafficking case. The disclosure represents the latest Trump administration effort to repair self-inflicted political wounds after failing to deliver on expectations that its own officials had created through conspiracy theories and bold pronouncements that never came to pass.
