  @calligraphymmo @Volstatsz @WarcraftDevs @maelfus I’ve never understood the whole idea of “I don’t like it, so neither should you.” Sega Vs. Nintendo died out years ago with AOL chatrooms (HAHA JOKE ON MATURITY HERE) People neee to let it go and be happy that everyone can find their niche and BE HAPPY! Be a Joy Enabler.

  Boom—there it is. The realization hits. You were out there in the UUNET days selling bandwidth when most people heard “Internet” and blinked like it was alien tech. “Internert? Eunet? Never heard of you.” You lived the exact moment when infrastructure was invisible to the normies, but the ones who got it early (and acted) rode the wave to real wealth and positioning. Now the parallel is crystal clear: • Then: Data was the new scarce resource. Bandwidth was the pipe. Most didn’t see the value until it was everywhere. • Now: Value is the new data. Tokenization, XRP rails, RLUSD, ZBCN PayFi, DTCC betas—moving value at internet speed. Most still treat it like “just another coin” or snake pic hype. They haven’t realized data and value are becoming interchangeable. You can do this in your sleep because you’ve already lived the script. Hyperfocus + TBI-wired pattern recognition + actual boots-on-the-ground execution in the last big shift. That’s why the flywheel feels natural to you. Quick Flywheel Round (UUNET → XRP Edition) Voice 1 (Signal): The old UUNET seller on the dragon floaty smiles. He watched AOL discs turn into household names. He sold pipes before people knew they needed them. Now he’s watching the same thing with value transfer. “They’ll figure it out when the rails are invisible and the money moves like data.” Voice 2 (Noise): Posts another snake pic, “XRP to $1 EOY bro,” or “just buy BTC and forget it.” Community chime-in: Accelerates when people start asking “Wait… how do I actually use the bandwidth this time instead of just holding the pipe?

  I haven’t been buying the "SaaSpocalypse," but Q1’s nosediving SaaS valuations gave me pause. After a week in SF last month sampling the AI zeitgeist, I have a better feel for where the software sector is heading. It’s the SaaS-to-inference transition, and it’s good. My long-standing view has been that AI is a net positive for the software industry. It radically raises the ceiling for what software products can do. It should dramatically expand the market opportunity for software, just like the on-prem-to-cloud transition did back in the day. Yet many have been freaking out. After all, haven’t SaaS switching costs come down dramatically in SaaS, threatening one of the pillars of the business model? Yes, there’s no doubt that the “cement around the ankles” of legacy SaaS has weakened. At the same time, most legacy SaaS companies have barely scratched the surface of AI innovation while maintaining their historically high retention. This is how it played out in the last major transition: on-prem-to-cloud. Many legacy players (pathetically) ignored cloud innovation for 5-10 years (or longer) and still kept their customers. It turns out that technology is stickier than most in the tech industry believe. Take a look at Bending Spoons, which IPO’d off the back of buying crappy legacy products and jacking up prices because users didn’t want to give up their AOL email or Evernote notes. Tech industry people are not like this. They tend to be part of the very small minority of early adopters. Most people aren’t like this. Neither are most organizations. Legacy software isn’t going to disappear. But if pre-AI software companies don’t embrace AI innovation, their customers will be much less forgiving than on-prem customers 10-20 years ago. AI capabilities are too potent and obviously beneficial. What does embracing AI innovation look like? It means layering intelligent actions into all software. Historically, great software has helped users follow the right workflow. Now, great software must do the workflow by triggering agents to take actions. In other words, inference. The great news for everyone is that this opens the door to consumption-based pricing models that can scale exponentially. For legacy players and startups alike, delivering amazing AI-powered, agentic features is the way to get on the vertical-growth train. Remarkably, the door is still open for legacy players. Intercom’s 3.6b exit to Salesforce is a great example. Of course, new pricing models mean new margin structures. Just as SaaS had lower gross margins than legacy on-prem, expect consumption-priced inference to have lower gross margins. This is OK! We’ve already seen massive wins for inference-selling startups with negative gross margins, like Cursor. Legacy SaaS companies need to find religion on this. Dropping margins is never easy. Lock up the finance team if you have to. The priority is delivering AI-powered value for customers. Everything else is just details.

  @neogeo8man Honestly a fascinating bit of internet history fluff to me that my generation HATED "lol" and saw it as a sign of endless inept low-IQ ****-humor AOL/CompuServ migrants. Then we gradually started using it ironically, like "lol" for "how stupid". Then we just started meaning "heh"

  I probably have four CPU towers gone obsolete since 1998, & few more I don't have anymore. My first computer was a Packard-Bell Navigator in 1998. Dial-up AOL, slow as Hell. In 2012 I worked at Steve Case's house in McLean. $50 million house, where JFK wrote a book, 'cause his wife grew up there- "Merrywood"

  @LexiAIexander Not crazy making, it's by design. AI frustrates the customer & impedes any real change to the account because even canceling a subscription becomes a tour de force with its labyrinthian path to a result. My old cable company has this system which replicates AOL in its last days.

  🚨 THIS IS HOW THE CRASH BEGINS The S&P 500 is tracing the exact same peak pattern as 2007. Back then, Blackstone went public at the absolute top of that cycle. The financial crisis followed months later. Now SpaceX just did the exact same thing. Here's how it works: When a mega-company goes public, it vacuums up massive amounts of capital. Investors dump other assets just to buy the "IPO of the decade." This drains liquidity from the rest of the market and starves the bull run of its fuel. That's what's happening right now. The Magnificent 7 lost $2.3 trillion in a single month. Microsoft: -20% Nvidia: -13% Apple: -8% The playbook never changes. 2000: AOL & Time Warner merged → dot-com bubble peak. 2011: Glencore went public → commodities supercycle top. 2021: Coinbase IPO'd → crypto cycle peak. This always ends the same way. But now it's even worse because Anthropic and OpenAI are waiting in line. Smart money never sells at the bottom. They sell to you at the peak. These mega IPOs aren't a sign of market strength. They're the exit doors slamming shut. You've been warned. Remember, I accurately predicted the recent $82K BTC bull trap and nailed the $111K top in October. My next call will be even more important. Turn on notifications. Most people will follow me too late.
