  I would never join BlueSky, it would be much much better to put a second sim card in my phone and have my followers have this new phone number. I was tech-social before AOL, MSN and BBM and it was just fine.

  @ThrillaRilla369 I was a mainframe systems programmer, I did not 'surf the web' back in the day, terribly insecure (worse now). I used IBMLink my entire career. We used arapnet, other early networks to research data at Berkley, UCLA, JPL. Mainframes are secure, always have been. When PC's, the web for everyone, AOL came out, we laughed and stayed with secure connections. We had email on the mainframe, profs (under VM) for word processing, long before the public knew what those things were. There is no security out in this non-ethernet world now! Https means nothing. Data mining is to be expected and reading terms and conditions should have intelligent people running from certain apps. I have never had a FB presence, nor will I. I constantly ask anyone around me, family, churches, friends, who pressure me for one app or another, "did you read their terms and conditions?" I know, Thrilla, you wanted cute answers. I'm supplying truth. X is my only social media and my husband had to talk me into it. Now, I'm a posting, replying, liking, following fool! But I won't download any other.

  @GergelyOrosz @PythiaR Never thought that the ScaleAI transaction would work out as a reverse takeover. Echoes of AOL acquiring Time Warner.

  20. Connected Account Vulnerability The Situation: Back in 2010, you finally made the jump from Yahoo, Hotmail, or AOL to Gmail. To make the transition easier, you linked your old legacy account to automatically forward everything into your new Gmail inbox. You haven't logged into that Yahoo account in a decade. The Mechanics: Legacy email platforms like Yahoo and AOL have notoriously outdated, porous spam filters compared to Google's billion-dollar machine learning infrastructure. By using POP3 or IMAP to pull that mail into Gmail, you are essentially bypassing Google's frontline defenses and piping raw, unfiltered internet sewage straight into your pristine Gmail ecosystem. The Fix: It is time to sever the cord. Go to Gmail Settings > Accounts and Import. Look under "Check mail from other accounts." Delete the legacy connections. If you absolutely still need access to that ancient Hotmail account for banking resets, log into it directly, aggressively clean it, and set up incredibly strict server-side rules there before allowing it anywhere near your primary hub.

  Two people who were early in Bitcoin and early in Ethereum just went on record about $TAO. One of them wrote a book about Bitcoin in 2013. The other invested in the Ethereum ICO in 2015. Both of them started a fund with Jason Calacanis with a single thesis. Bittensor is the third great open-source substrate after Bitcoin and Ethereum. Here is the exact framing they used. In the early 90s Microsoft, AOL, and CompuServe were the well-capitalised incumbents. Everyone thought they would monopolise and run away with the internet. Then TCP/IP, Linux, and the World Wide Web came along and everything converged on an open-source substrate. Bittensor is that open-source substrate for the AI story playing out right now. OpenAI. Anthropic. Google DeepMind. XAI. Different cast of characters. Same pattern. And this time you can actually own a piece of the open-source substrate. Now read the valuation mismatch that should stop you cold. The four main AI labs combined are worth approximately $1.5 trillion. Bittensor is worth $1.7 billion. Ridges subnet competes directly with Claude and Cursor and has beaten them on benchmarks. Ridges market cap is $30 million. Cursor is worth $30 billion. That is not a small dislocation. That is a comical one. The highest valued subnet in the entire ecosystem is around $80 million. There has never been a billion dollar subnet yet. On Ethereum during the ICO mania projects with nowhere near this quality of output were raising hundreds of millions within minutes. Now think about how many orders of magnitude more capital is chasing AI opportunities today compared to 2017. When that capital discovers Bittensor the valuation rerating will be violent to the upside. Their exact words. Not mine. The man who called $TAO at $3,000 by end of 2026 said it directly. By 2030 it will be a trillion dollar ecosystem. Every molecule in my body is screaming this is another one. The people who read the docs always buy before the people who read the price. This is still early.

  @CodeByPoonam "most companies won't do this" actually most tech companies do this. AOL also minted thousands of paper millionaire employees, including janitors. then they acquired Time Warner and the stock went down every day after
