Finance techie says they cloned Bloomberg's $30k-a-year Terminal with Perplexity's Computer — project draws both praise and sizable skepticism

A finance techie claims to have cloned Bloomberg's $30k-a-year Terminal using Perplexity's Computer, sparking both praise and skepticism. The project involved building a replica of the Terminal in just one afternoon, showcasing basic information and feeds similar to Bloomberg's offering. However, critics point out that the real-time data feed for the clone comes from Perplexity Finance, which may not match the depth and speed of Bloomberg's data. While the effort is commendable for democratizing financial analysis access, replicating the Terminal's complexity and functionality remains a significant challenge.
