  @aolmail I’ve had you since the internet was invented. I know you need advertising as it’s not a service you can deliver for free.... ...but the new level of intrusion, irritation & inconvenience means you will lose users....such as me.

  @mysteriouskat I thankfully learned about this phenomenon early. Going back to AOL instant messenger days. I remember talking to friends via chat just felt off and I perceived them differently. I didn't like it. One of the reasons I never joined Facebook once it took off to "find friends"

  @RaminNasibov Does AOL count? Or BBS? Never did much with the latter, but plenty with the former. I also vaguely remember my dad had a CompuServe account. Email addresses were basically a string of numbers as I recall.

  @EdMarkey Ed, no-body know who ******** you are. Please resign and let someone that doesn't have an AOL email address take office. You're a waste of a seat

  This is true. I have officially built a bulk mail server for just me that functions 100% like constant contact or mail chimp in every possible way that I have been able to detect, using AI. It cost me less than $100 to build it. It costs only 10 cents for every 1000 emails I send. Every email service (aol, hotmail, yahoo, Microsoft, gmail) recognizes it as a legit service. It’s called KennyBMail I log in to my dashboard which I can design however I want. It has one user and one account. Me and mine. I can do drip campaigns, single emails, weekly newsletters and whatever else you can think of. It uses all the structure blocks, tests, formats, resends, click and open trackers, reports. Everything. You name it this service does it. My gated content has put over 650 new emails into it in 3 weeks while I sleep. For a small YouTube channel that has given me an entirely new way to reach people in my audience. AI knows every language. Every human language and every coding language in every human language. It knows how everything in the domain of coding and programming works. Everything. It’s not perfect but it works. It would have cost me tens of thousands of dollars to have a company build this. I built it with AI in 9 days during down time. If you know how to tell it what to do (not everyone does) - then if you can think it, you can build it. I know nothing about building this kind of stuff and still did it because I know how to articulate what I want it to do and how to tell it when something isn’t right.

  Different decade, same math: half the S&P 500 is priced at levels that a dot-com CEO called proof of investor insanity while watching his company crater 90%. The rotation at the top: In early 2000, the ten most valuable S&P 500 companies read like a monument to permanent dominance: Microsoft, General Electric, Cisco, Walmart, ExxonMobil, Intel, Lucent, IBM, Citigroup, AOL. A generation later, only Microsoft remains. GE was carved into three separate companies. Lucent was absorbed by Nokia. AOL became the cautionary tale attached to the worst merger in corporate history. Cisco and Intel spent 25 years climbing back to their dot-com peaks. Citigroup, IBM, Walmart, and ExxonMobil still exist, but none crack the top ten. The new top ten is Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and the AI infrastructure complex. Investors in 2000 were also certain they were buying the future's permanent giants. The data says most of today's winners won't be in the top ten a generation from now either, and there is no mechanism by which you find out which ones survive in advance. The valuation problem: In 2002, after Sun Microsystems collapsed 90%, CEO Scott McNealy explained to investors exactly what a 10x sales multiple actually demands: 100% of revenues paid as dividends for ten consecutive years, with zero costs, zero R&D, zero taxes, and zero employees. He was describing the math of the price investors had paid for his stock as a form of collective psychosis. Today, 51% of the S&P 500 by market cap trades above 10x sales. Half the index. The AI narrative is functioning as the dot-com narrative functioned: a story compelling enough to make the math feel optional. The math has never been optional.

  OpenAI Is Forecasting Something That Has Never Happened in 75 Years of Market History Morgan Stanley's Mauboussin studied every 5-year sales growth run for US public companies since 1950. Nearly 19,300 firm-period observations. Fastest ever: AOL at 103% CAGR, and even that was a merger artifact with Time Warner. OpenAI's projection: $13.1bn (2025) → $284bn (2030). An 85% CAGR from a base no company that size has ever compounded from. The earlier $184bn-by-2029 forecast implied 118%. The mean 5-year nominal CAGR in the data: 6.9%, with 11.1% standard deviation. OpenAI's forecast sits 9 to 10 standard deviations out. Mauboussin's caveat is fair, base rates are dynamic and the past doesn't make it impossible. But it would be the single greatest growth achievement in the history of public markets. Price it accordingly.

  AOL had 30M users, and the internet locked down. Then the open web ate it. Anthropic and OpenAI are playing AOL right now. The Fable 5 rug pull just showed every enterprise exactly what it looks like to depend on closed AI. The off switch exists. Someone else holds it. Llama, Mistral, Qwen - they're not "almost as good" anymore. For most enterprise workloads, they're good enough. And they run on your own hardware. Apple MLX + NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops + rapidly improving open weights = the mainframe-to-PC transition, happening in real time. Open-source AI will do to Frontier Labs what the open internet did to AOL. History doesn't always repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes. The only question is how long you keep building on someone else's infrastructure before you start owning yours.
