Varangian Papi ☦️ (@DeMemetrios) reported@PBDsPodcast The crazy part is that he’s still too young to really remember what it was like. I’ll never forget AOL chatrooms and social media before the great meme war of 2016. Everything changed after that. The internet is so lame now.

Simon Khalaf (@Simonkhalaf) reported@markpinc @jonoringer Consider the source. Buying junk assets and milk them for cash. Not a bad business, but there is no reason to say that how others are doing it is wrong. I ran AOL, and I know.

DPR56X (@DPR56X) reported@Wajson_Crack I was using Netscape back in those days. Netscape is a browser- like Duck or Brave or FoxFire- Big competition back then to be the Browser king between netscape and ms internet explorer, then AOL stepped in and acquired netscape as their own in their platform. The 80's was the mad rush to claim the Everests of tech. I was in IT back then- even did the in person lecture series for certifications for MS. GIANT 4-5 inch wide binders of microsoft crap -carried with you into hours upon hours of MS lectures. LOL

2xnmore (@2xnmore) reportedTwo 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.

Andrew Carles (@andrew_carles) reported@hetmehtaa The issue is that email itself is not inherently secure. While the practitioner's email system may be encrypted and compliant, there is no guarantee that a patient's personal AOL, Yahoo, or Gmail account has the same level of security. Once information leaves the provider's secure environment and is delivered to an unsecured personal email account, the risk of unauthorized access increases significantly.

George Cheng (@MrGeorgeCheng) reportedAOL 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.

Terry Bryant (@TBryant13305) reported@AOL It is a terrible lyric to put on a school book. If she didn't do it or approve it the woman is innocent until proven guilty. Perhaps the investigation should be on how it got there and who put it there in her name. I hope her lawyer is worth his salt.
