  @The_RomaArmy @NYCTSubway And yes this new women is just as evil. But he was so destroyed. My mom cheated on my dad and left us on my 11 birthday. For 1 yr she said she had to help my aunt who was dying. Then came back and said she wants a divorce. Found out she lied. She left for a man on aol chat

  After 71 years, the longstanding mail-order media club Columbia House is shutting down on Sept. 15. Columbia House got its start in 1955 as the Columbia Record Club, a direct-mail marketing program by CBS/Columbia Records. New members were promised a free record for joining, and customers could bypass a trip to the record store by ordering albums to be shipped to them at home. It was such a wildly popular venture that by 1963, it represented 10% of the music retail market. As the club spawned imitators, Columbia set itself apart by licensing titles from other labels, giving members a larger catalog to choose from. In the early 1970s, the name of the club was changed to Columbia House. With its introductory offer of “8 CDs for a penny,” the service remained a powerhouse throughout the late 20th century, peaking at 16 million members in 1996, the same year the Columbia House website went live. In 1991, Sony and Time Warner formed a 50/50 joint venture combining Columbia House with Time Life's home video and music clubs. As the market share for mail-order music clubs declined due to the rise of online and big-box retailers, Sony and AOL Time Warner sold 85% of Columbia House to the Blackstone Group. There were widespread reports of a planned merger with CDNow or Blockbuster Video, but neither came to pass. In 2005, Columbia House was sold to its competitor BMG, and then to JMCK Corp. It rebranded as Direct Brands, shutting down music sales and continuing as a DVD and Blu-ray Disc club. Plans to launch a vinyl record club with Columbia House branding did not materialize.

  @Ratsukare 18, but only because no AOL in Europe and being too poor for a watered, lol. But I actually used real floppy, wiggly discs where you could punch a whole I the side to use the backside, too.

  THIS 7-MINUTE SENATE CROSS-EXAMINATION OF BILL GATES TEACHES MORE ABOUT DEFLECTION THAN ANY HARVARD CASE STUDY. One question. Asked four different ways. Watch how Gates stalls before admitting the restriction. "Well, partly you're using legal terms I'm not familiar with." "I don't think these are legal terms, Mr. Gates." Netscape's CEO sat right in the room. AOL bought his company later that year. Here is the masterclass in corporate defense. Never give a direct 'yes' or 'no.' Gates reframes the premise. He feigns ignorance on basic words. He forces the senator to define terms instead of arguing facts. It’s a classic deposition tactic. Shift the focus to vocabulary, and you control the clock. Media trainers charge $10,000 a day for this pivot. Gates pulled it off under federal oath.

  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.
