  @timruss2 Yeah when did this all start? Edison or Aol? Subscriptions I note too never offer everything for the subscription fee...always a never-ending upgrade!

  The weirdest AI-era market signal today was not a model launch. It was Wall Street cheering AOL’s new parent. Bending Spoons, the Italian roll-up behind AOL, Vimeo, Eventbrite and other “old internet” brands, ripped on its first trading day. Shares were up as much as 52% and closed about 40% above the IPO price, according to WSJ coverage. That matters because this was supposed to be the era where only frontier AI labs and zero-to-one startups get rewarded. But public markets are sending a different message: if AI makes software cheaper to build, then existing distribution gets more valuable, not less. Users, billing relationships, search traffic, archives, brand memory, and neglected products with real audiences suddenly look like underpriced assets. The winners may not just be the companies inventing new AI tools. They may also be the operators buying tired digital properties and rebuilding them with AI, automation, and brutal cost discipline. Watch for more money to chase AI-enabled roll-ups, not just AI-native apps. The next big tech winners might look less like inventors and more like private-equity-style owners of forgotten internet real estate. Is this just an IPO pop, or the first real sign that AI rewards ownership and distribution more than novelty?

  @Forbes Peak New Economy: AOL bought Time Warner in 2000/01 in an all-share deal, with a purchase price of about $147bn on the books, often announced as ~$165bn. In 2002, AOL Time Warner then took a $54.2bn goodwill impairment, followed by another $45.5bn write-down. Now AOL is back in the public-market story as part of Bending Spoons’ >$18bn IPO! $BSP

  @desthia2 This is the bottleneck problem AI is experiencing right now. It is like when AOL charge by the minute, then someone said unlimited internet. We need quantum computing to have a break though or enough data centers to handle. Selling compute capacity to other AI companies has screwed their own customers.

  @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.

  If you wanna know more you can **** all the way off (to one of my x-rays). I leave the pii on most of the time. AOL keyword: spine, maybe. Or ask me anything!

  back in i want to say around 2010, AOL offered @ love .com emails as a valentines day promotion. i ran some script for hundreds of rare usernames on it. aol was unusable for a daily email service so i didn't get much use out of them, but they were nice to look at

  @zedamex @el_mesa @RinoTheBouncer That still requires players to have a strong enough internet connection to do these things. What do you propose people in rural areas with poor or zero home internet access should do? AOL shut down back in Sept 2025 which was one of the few options rural families rely on.
