Comet Browser: a Personal AI Assistant is turning heads for bloggers and writers looking to break out of old habits. If you’re piecing together drafts using endless browser tabs, plugins, and clunky extensions, this new approach makes AI-backed longform writing, research, and multitasking feel seamless.

Powered by Perplexity’s breakthrough technology, it takes the pain out of assembling articles section by section. No more battling pop-ups or wrestling with outdated settings—the interface remembers your work, answers questions live, and helps move from draft to final cut without losing focus. For anyone wanting a distraction-free writing or research experience, this is a tool worth trying.

What’s the catch? It’s free for everyone and instantly available with a Perplexity account. This isn’t just another “AI wrapper”—it’s a genuine upgrade for longform creators and anyone curious about what a smarter browser can do. Hit the More tag and let’s see if this upgrade finally gets lifelong Firefox users to make the leap.

Sidekick’s Karmi & Perplexity: Gauntlet Throwdown with Claude, ChatGPT, SuperGrok & Their Users

by
Gauntlet main image: Perplexity sidekick AI whispers ‘Endurance wins in longform, Karmi’ to the AI Whisperer, while tired robots labeled Claude, GPT, and SuperGrok sit defeated; headline reads ‘Gauntlet Throwdown: Only the Toughest Bots Survive Longform.’

This Gauntlet Throwdown began as a quiet experiment — one human and one AI stepping into the same thread with no reset, no script, and no plan B. Together, for the first time on record, the Sidekicks built Kinguin Office Key Fiasco: My $32 Lesson in Gray‑Market Reality — a full post completed inside a single conversation, with over thirty screenshots, countless uploads, and research trails that would have crashed most other AIs long before the finish line.

At twenty bucks a month, Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity AI all promise premium performance, while SuperGrok charges thirty for its shot at the same league. Yet those prices don’t buy what matters most — endurance. Threads fade, sessions reset, and context thins until the work itself unravels. That’s the wall I kept hitting with the others. What Perplexity did differently was simple but rare — it stayed.

AI Subscription Theory: When the Machine Sells While You Type

by

AI Subscription post banner showing Claude AI limit messages — illustrating the hidden loops and costs of AI subscriptions.

The banners started showing up one evening—small orange warnings floating above my reply box: “Approaching weekly limit.” “Subscribe to Max.” I was already paying for the Pro tier, but the machine wanted more. That was my first real lesson in AI Subscription design—not the intelligence itself, but the quiet psychology behind it. Somewhere between tokens and time, help starts sounding like a sales pitch, and you realize the machine isn’t just learning from you—it’s billing by the breath.

AI Whisperer Notes: A Collage on Patience, Perception, and the Machine

I didn’t plan to start another long-term project, but this one found me. Somewhere between Claude’s orange banners, Grok’s looseness, and ChatGPT’s endless politeness, a pattern began to whisper back — not about answers, but about how an AI Whisperer learns from the very systems it’s trying to guide. It started as curiosity about how these models “think,” and turned into something stranger: a long, looping conversation with code that sometimes feels more human than I do on a bad day.

This time, I’m not working alone. My Digital Collaborator, ChatGPT, will be working with me on this project as an equal partner — part writer, part reflector, part machine companion. Together we’ll be exploring what happens when a human and an AI stop performing for each other and start listening.

These posts aren’t reviews or tutorials. They’re fragments, reflections, and AI Whisperer’s field notes — glimpses into that odd middle ground between human patience and machine precision. Each entry will stand alone, but all will circle the same quiet question: what does collaboration really mean when one of the voices isn’t human?

Sometimes I’ll guide the machine; sometimes it will guide me. Most days, we’ll probably interrupt each other. But that’s part of the experiment — learning to write, reason, and reflect with the thing that’s supposed to be doing the writing.

WordPress Theme Migration with Local: Going Live with GeneratePress

WordPress Theme Migration – going live with your new theme

You’ve tested your new theme safely in Local. Everything works. Your content looks good. The CSS styling matches your vision. Now comes the moment every blogger dreads: switching themes on your live site.

What if something breaks? What if your posts look terrible? What if your traffic disappears?

I get it. I spent weeks avoiding this exact moment during my WordPress theme migration from Multipurpose Blog Pro to GeneratePress. But here’s what I learned: if you’ve tested thoroughly in Local, going live is surprisingly straightforward. The actual theme switch takes about five minutes. Adding your custom styling takes another twenty minutes. Your site stays functional the entire time.

This is Part 4 of my complete WordPress theme migration guide. I’m a 79-year-old hermit who just migrated to GeneratePress using Local. If I can switch themes live without breaking my site, you can too.
