  @ericbrownzzz I don't know if this was intended, but I like the linkage b/w Online America and AoL (A.rchers o.f L.oaf and America Online; an internet service from when Archers were active). AoL: Web in front. But in back of web, some chat rooms with three people in them.

  I said it again and again and again: the current LLMs are equivalent to the dialup of dotcom era. Back then we were effectively paying a software license for AOL. Today, the idea of paying to use the Internet is absolutely absurd. My gut tells me there’s a place for the frontier models. But I don’t see it being in the hands of every consumer when the technology is essentially a commodity. I think the frontier models have a legitimate business that’s going to be much smaller than the market currently prices them at. I also see people totally misunderstand the value proposition for AI. Neither OpenAI nor Anthropic are needed to sustain the AI boom. At worst there’s an air gap. Doesn’t matter if it’s open source or not—same compute is needed. And if the models aren’t as good, then ChatGPT and Claude are needed.

  My 86 year-old father called me at 2 AM because he accidentally joined a Discord server and thought he was being "recruited by the internet." I answered the phone half asleep. "They're in the computer," he said. "Who's in the computer?" "The voices. There are young people. They're talking. I think I've been hacked." I sat up. "Dad, what are you talking about?" "I clicked something and now there's a room full of people and they keep saying my name." My blood pressure spiked. I thought maybe he'd stumbled into some kind of scam call center or ransomware situation. "Don't click anything else," I said. "I'm coming over." I drove twenty minutes to his house at 2:30 in the morning. When I walked in, he was sitting at his computer, headphones around his neck, looking absolutely terrified. "They know I'm here," he whispered. I looked at the screen. He had somehow joined a Discord server called "Chill Vibes Gaming." There were about forty people in a voice channel. And in the chat, someone had typed: "Yo who is CrazyDave1938 and why is he breathing so loud?" CrazyDave1938 was my father. "Dad, how did you even get here?" "I was trying to download solitaire." "THIS ISN'T SOLITAIRE." "I KNOW THAT NOW." Apparently, he clicked an ad, which led to a download, which installed Discord, which auto-connected him to some random public server. And he'd been sitting in a voice chat for forty-five minutes, not speaking, just listening. The people in the chat were confused but remarkably patient. One of them typed: "CrazyDave, are you okay? Blink twice if you need help." My father had no camera on, so blinking was not an option. I leaned over and typed: "Sorry, this is his son. He's 86 and very confused. He thought this was solitaire." The chat exploded. "LMAOOO." "Protect CrazyDave at all costs." "Dave you're a legend." Someone changed his server nickname to "Grandpa Dave." My father looked at me, bewildered. "Are they laughing at me?" "They love you." He squinted at the screen. "What is this place?" "It's like a chat room." "Like AOL?" "Sure, Dad. Like AOL." He thought about it for a second. "Can I stay?" I stared at him. "You want to stay in the gaming Discord?" "They seem nice. That one called me a legend." I didn't know what to say. I helped him figure out how to mute himself, showed him how to leave and rejoin, and drove home. That was three months ago. He's still in the server. He logs in every night around 8 PM and just listens. Occasionally he types things like "Good game everyone" even though he's never played anything. Last week someone made him a moderator as a joke. He took it very seriously. He now removes "inappropriate language" and once banned someone for "being rude to a young lady." The server has doubled in size. Half the new members joined specifically because they heard about Grandpa Dave. My father has become a Discord celebrity at 86 years old. He still doesn't know what Discord is. He calls it "the solitaire room." I've stopped correcting him.

  @marklevinshow ... bro... you're linking to an AOL story? You rely know your demographic, don't you. I'll wait for the next CD to arrive so I can get a 30 day trial if their dial-up service, so U can check it out. After my 2pm supper, of course.

  EVERY BUBBLE HAD ONE FINAL TRADE THIS IS OURS The most overvalued market in 100 years and retail is still buying every dip This pattern has preceded every major crash in modern history not most of them, all of them Dot-com: the internet was real Nasdaq lost 78% Housing: real estate was real $8 trillion disappeared AI: the technology is real just like the others were The technology being real has never once stopped the bubble from bursting SpaceX just entered at $2.35 trillion with 95% of shares still locked and a wall of insider supply hitting the market on a fixed schedule starting in August Every bubble in history had one final moment the trade so exciting it pulled the last of the retail money in right before the whole structure collapsed Dot-com had AOL Housing had mortgage-backed securities AI has SpaceX Same ending. Different props. Turn notifications on - if you're not following yet, you'll understand why that was a mistake later

  AOL-Time Warner was the dot-com era’s worst mistake, but PlayStation's war on user ownership is gaming's equivalent: a colossal waste vaporizing trust for control, proving that destroying consumer rights is just a brain-dead business model that burns investors every time 🤦

  @Soaringeagle45 AOL wasn't big in Canada. And I've sat on a waterbed but never slept on one.
