  Gather round children, let me tell you of the Netscape Navigator In the Year of our Lord Early-1990s, one could access Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) -- essentially, a highly-selective Reddit -- BY PHONE, not the internet. You also played your friends in Warcraft 2 by phone. If you had email it likely came through a university (or, in time, your ISP) "Walled Gardens" were built out at AOL and Prodigy to facilitate user-friendly graphical interactions over the most of the 'net you were gonna get your hands on. But then... Netscape. FREE YOUR MIND was stamped all over the thing. You could do what you wanted, when you wanted it. Just a whiff of the icon could turn that frown upside down. You could guess the full URL for the admin login portal for major companies, then go to the human-legible cookie file on your machine and change the access granted value to true! When you opened someone's computer and they didn't have Netscape, your Promethean introduction of technological fire established your reputation as a true hacker We exchanged the latest search engines: WebCrawler, AltaVista, Dogpile. Jerry's Guide, even. Real wizard-tier esoterica. College students had access to unlimited bandwidth. A normal chump at home was sitting on 1-3% of 1 Mbps, or maybe 1/8 of 1 Mbps if he was a high roller with an ISDN line. But college students had T1s (1.5 Mbps) or even T3s (45 Mbps for a whole school, maybe even just a dorm). With all those sweet sweet kbps, you hit up IRC and your beautifully personal Geocities page. You used Winzip and Winamp (llama hater!). You had ASCII text art in your sig. Later in the 90s, you burned mix CDs for friends with Nero's Burning ROM and downloaded wallpapers from Digital Blasphemy. You had Juno mail, then Hotmail and Yahoo, to FREE YOUR MIND and take your email with you wherever you wanted to go. And at the heart of all this: Netscape Navigator, a.k.a Excalibur, a.k.a. Eternally-On-Evaluation, a.k.a. the 3rd-best piece of freedom I experienced after exploring our drainage ditches and getting my own bike It was truly special. Thank you @pmarca This site best viewed with Netscape Navigator v1.22N

  My Japanese client has asked for my age for the 5th time in a row. What's the issue? I'm I too young for the legal profession? Does being old mean experience? I believe not. I know of 50 year old lawyers who dont a thing or 2 despite being in practice for ages. An aol kodu yawa

  The answer is, no. The advice is to build a sandbox properly. An AI that can steal credentials is the worst example of a sandbox I’ve seen since 1996 when I was head of testing for the launch of all new technology for AOL in the UK, and AIM globally. This is all 100% PR. Is AI a danger to society? Yes. But that’s because the humans at the wheel don’t care.

  @oelma__ You forgot @aol…I still use it. Service providers ask for my email, and then laugh about it.

  Before the AI kings, there was another king. His story tells you exactly how AI race ends. In the 90s, AOL was the internet. If you wanted to go online, you went through AOL. Their CDs were in every mailbox in America. At their peak they were worth more than Disney, Ford and Boeing combined. They even bought Time Warner, the biggest media empire on earth, like it was a snack. Then the internet became a utility. It moved to the companies holding the infra, the telecom guys. And AOL's birthright on the internet vanished. The pipe owners made real money, AT&T still makes billions every year, but at utility margins. The crazy money showed up at the application layer in the next decade. Google, Amazon, Netflix. They didn't own the internet. They just paid for it like everyone else and built the best service on top. The bottom layer was open to anyone at a price, so the top layer went to whoever served the customer best. No birthright. Just service. Now let's look at AI. Today the frontier labs stand where AOL stood in the late 90s. They own the models, they own the access, they are the most valuable companies of this era. But intelligence is already becoming a utility with open weights. The model is turning into the pipe, and the pipe will move to whoever hosts it cheapest. Better chips, cheaper power, data centers next to geothermal plants or up in orbit. Good business, real money, but utility margins. And again, the crazy money will show up one layer above, again. Apps built on open intelligence, paying for it like everyone pays for internet, winning because they serve the customer best. Nobody has a birthright there. Not even the labs. They can compete for it, with everyone else at a level playing field. The internet made AOL the king and then made the internet free. AI is about to do the same thing to its kings.

  @d4doome Usenet was good until infiltrated & destroyed by spam. Unfiltered Usenet groups have no modern equivalent. X shadow bans & stifles, even under Elon. Facebook is horrid. But before I used Usenet I was banned from AOL forums. The original evil, from which sh*t sites like Facebook & Reddit are censorious de facto children. Also I caused these three groups to be created, in the day, when most anyone could create a group…

  @johnhboyer Lol. Think about this: it was started in 1987. Planning began in 1985, before the modern standard web browser existed. I remember thinking, when I learned shout it at Ga Tech, that it was wild that someone envisioned putting a library contacts online only 2 years after TCP/ IP protocol became standard. And before the www as we know it came into being (around 1989). Quantum Computing Service, founded the same year in 1985, didn’t even become AOL until 1991. Talk about vision!
