So I just got a shiny brand new PS4 and it's all exciting. And my PS3 will likely still be around, but it may get relegated to the second room, which means I'd love to be able to use my PS4 for Netflix and the like. Will my PS3 remote work on my PS4?

No, you can not because they are for different consoles.

This is true. The PS3 Bluetooth remote is not compatible with the PS4. As an alternative, you can try the Playstation app for mobile devices, which will sync and give you navigation and playback controls for PS4.

Sadly the PS3 Media Remote will not work with the PS4.
The PS4 Media Remote, while being "official" and endorsed by Sony, is a very poor substitute for the PS3 version. It does not allow for volume punch-through for an amp, contrary to what the manual says. It could not switch inputs on my SONY amp, which is mind boggling.
Avoid the PS4 Media Remote. You're better off using the included controller.
