  So just pointing out I thought the "cop" from Newark was unqualified as a human, some vice principal woman didn't support the students at all for being intimdiated (i was a victim + friend with the website maker/distreibutor on AOL a friendly guy everyone knew) but no one

  @Ripplesinwales They have no choice — adapt or get left behind. What we’re really watching is the same shift that hit the stock market in the late 90s. I jumped on E*TRADE right around the time AOL went mainstream in 1998. That was the moment the “do-it-yourself” crowd said forget the middleman (stock brokers) and moved to online trading. The ones who understood cut out the middle and kept more of the profit. The ones who didn’t just stayed with the old system. The exact same divide is unfolding again right now on the banking side — bank custody vs self-custody.

  My playful analogy is we are in the AOL era of AI. Early stage of a revolutionary technology, but the delivery mechanism is still clunky, requiring really dumb concepts like prompt engineering. In 1996, you couldn't even imagine business models like Uber, Netflix, the iPhone, YouTube or Tesla FSD, because the technology wasn't even close to capable or cost effective enough. From 1996-2006 global data volume grew by a factor of 10,000,000x (per Gemini), but that growth was hugely deflationary (wholesale IP transit cost down 99%), i.e. good for the application layer and selectively bad for the pipe owners (telecom). Overall, the mix of massive volume growth offset against gnarly price deflation has been a, net/net, positive thing for telecom investing. Does that hold for the frontier labs? "Intelligence pipe" feels like it can be a pretty damn awesome business, but, like telecoms, the evolution of "intelligence pipe as a business" will be extremely path dependent and will require real business models with attractive unit economics to fund. Obviously most of the 90's era telecoms went bust and the assets were only financially productive for the 2nd or 3rd owners, mostly due to balance sheet issues & the subsequent closing of the capital markets window. Though capital markets have evolved materially since the early 2000's telecom bust with a regulatory environment more supportive of monopolies/oligopolies and private capital markets more supportive of funding massive cash burn (to wit, I think it's a really bad idea for Anthropic to IPO in '26, but what do I know?). So imagine that prior but like 10-100x the size of the internet. Maybe more? As in 1996 when you couldn't even envision Netflix/Uber, the iPhone or Tesla FSD, we have zero idea what 2056 looks like, but the exponential will certainly drive even more upside uncertainty in technology. idk, hard to be structurally bearish on the "intelligence pipe" and subsequently, infrastructure that feeds the pipe (though it feels certain there will be super gnarly potholes, messy shakeouts, and bankruptcies along the way, as we saw in telecom evolution), and ultimately what matters is free cash flow production, which feeds from the intersection of exponential volumes against unit level deflation. What's exciting to me with the improvement in the models, both frontier like Fable/Sol and open source like Kimi/GLM/Deep-Seek, is you are getting *closer* so seeing a real application layer possible in a very intellectually difficult sandbox like public market investing. Nearly four years from GPT 3.5 demo, we still aren't there. We are still in the "AOL era" - too slow, not competent enough, too expensive. But are we exiting that era? It feels to me like we might be. If I had to guess, my guess is the frontier labs continue to be good businesses (and extremely volatile public stocks), mostly due to the reflexive nature of capital markets & talent acquisition. But what seems really obvious, to me, is that 2026-2036 is going to be the era of the application layer, where the Travis Kalanick-style entrepreneur takes this "intelligence pipe" and envisions new & groundbreaking businesses that change the world. That entrepreneurial accelerate will drive durable and accelerating demand for the intelligence pipe, it seems. It's a really exciting time to be alive.

  AOL and Time Warner merged in a $165,000,000,000 deal, and two years later the company wrote off $99,000,000,000 in a single year. The announcement came in January 2000, weeks before the dot-com peak. An internet company buying one of the largest media empires on earth. AOL was the smaller business by revenue and profit. It had the stock price, which was the currency that made the deal possible. Steve Case and Gerald Levin stood on stage and called it the future. Dial-up subscribers plus film studios, cable systems, magazines, and music. Then the bubble burst. AOL's advertising revenue collapsed, and the subscriber business began dying as broadband arrived and nobody needed dial-up anymore. The cultures never combined. Time Warner executives resented being bought with inflated paper, and the AOL side found the media business slow. In 2002 the company reported a loss of about $99,000,000,000, the largest annual loss in American corporate history. Almost all of it was writing down the value of AOL itself. The AOL name came off the company in 2003. The two businesses split apart entirely in 2009. Levin later apologized publicly and called himself responsible. The biggest deal ever signed destroyed more value than most companies ever create.

  @SmugAlana YouTube’s day is coming, much like AOL, Netscape, yahoo, MySpace, ect. The days as king are limited. To much customer dis-satisfaction, something will come along and dethrone them. And it’s not going to be kick or rumble. It will be something new.

  @MeikaRei @KPHagain Lol. We didn't have squat like that during old school AOL & all my old content and chats way back when. We all know you never know Jack Squat or the reality of anything.

  Hey @HeyHeyItsConrad I’m listening to ur pod w @EBischoff on @WWE invasion & I think the real path to go down would be if Turner bought WWF & Eric had that money to bring in WWF talent into WCW & do invasion or another storyline.Might,need to say AOL merger never happens either.
