  Gen Z has it easy; never had to use Internet Explorer and AOL.

  It’s 2026. You know you your Internet service sucks when you had a better Internet connection during the old AOL days. And it didn’t cost as much then, either.

  @TimothyImholt Some of those are still pretty widely used. Never had an AOL account unless AIM counts. You could add 1/2 a generation by including 8-tracks and valve testers.

  @lynxfindsdeals It was fun. Lots of chat rooms and message boards. Had to be careful of who you talked to, though. But the internet itself was pretty unstable, especially if it was dial-up. We started with Juno and then AOL back in the early ‘90s. Quality was much better with ethernet.

  @QueenHasSpoken_ @idpicciotto @VividProwess Yes, AOL message boards existed. Nobody said the Internet didn’t. The point is that comparing the fragmented online forums of 2001 to today’s algorithmic mass social media ecosystem is absurd. And “I was online and don’t remember seeing criticism of Bush” still isn’t evidence that criticism didn’t exist. Your AOL login wasn’t a representative sample of American public opinion.

  Plausible paths for Google: 1. They will also start falling behind in TPU design. TPUs will cease to even notionally be a realistic competitor to big players. Maybe they'll sell the IP and TSMC allocation to OpenAI or Anthropic or AMD, or spin it out into an underresourced separate entity. 2. GCP will do very well for a time. Existing LLM inference capacity is going to get more valuable over time, commanding higher prices. At some point, they'll be left with second-rate hardware that's been dramatically outcompeted by ultra-efficient RSI hardware and data centers. It's not inconceivable that their TPUs will literally have the HBM chips pried off of them to put into better hardware by a competitor. 3. Search will have gone from merely declining in usage to declining rapidly in revenue. This will continue for some time as a viable business, like AOL, Juno and yahoo, but with a shrinking user base of aging retirees or barely-online people. They will embrace every dark pattern in the book to adsmaxx, but their core "indexing and understanding all the world's information" will have long since been done much better by model companies. 4. They'll probably release a quite good Gemini or two from inertia this year. Not necessarily SOTA, but good enough to cause a stock rally. This is probably the last place for someone like Sergei Brin to assert control and save the company. 5. Eventually the massive amount of debt taken on building GCP and getting returned as buybacks will catch up with them after a credit downgrade. They'll get ripped apart for scraps at the org level, with stakes in various AI companies constituting most of their value, like yahoo! did with alibaba. Sundar Pichai will walk away enormously wealthy having maximized ******** out of some shareholder value.
