  Different decade, same math: half the S&P 500 is priced at levels that a dot-com CEO called proof of investor insanity while watching his company crater 90%. The rotation at the top: In early 2000, the ten most valuable S&P 500 companies read like a monument to permanent dominance: Microsoft, General Electric, Cisco, Walmart, ExxonMobil, Intel, Lucent, IBM, Citigroup, AOL. A generation later, only Microsoft remains. GE was carved into three separate companies. Lucent was absorbed by Nokia. AOL became the cautionary tale attached to the worst merger in corporate history. Cisco and Intel spent 25 years climbing back to their dot-com peaks. Citigroup, IBM, Walmart, and ExxonMobil still exist, but none crack the top ten. The new top ten is Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and the AI infrastructure complex. Investors in 2000 were also certain they were buying the future's permanent giants. The data says most of today's winners won't be in the top ten a generation from now either, and there is no mechanism by which you find out which ones survive in advance. The valuation problem: In 2002, after Sun Microsystems collapsed 90%, CEO Scott McNealy explained to investors exactly what a 10x sales multiple actually demands: 100% of revenues paid as dividends for ten consecutive years, with zero costs, zero R&D, zero taxes, and zero employees. He was describing the math of the price investors had paid for his stock as a form of collective psychosis. Today, 51% of the S&P 500 by market cap trades above 10x sales. Half the index. The AI narrative is functioning as the dot-com narrative functioned: a story compelling enough to make the math feel optional. The math has never been optional.

  @AOL What's wrong with your service right now? I cannot be "redirected" on sign in.

  Here's what happens next now that Warner Bros and Paramount are one company. In 6 months: Max and paramount + merge into a single platform. Subscribers get one app. Thousnads of employees get layoffs. The combined $57 billion debt starts driving every content decision. In 12 months: CNN gets sold or spun off. It has been on the table for years. The new company cannot afford to carry a struggling news network alongside a streaming war. In 2 years: The merged studio approaches Apple, Amazon, or a sovereign wealth fund for a capital injection. $57 billion in debt with streaming losses doesn't sustain itself. In 5 years: This merger either saves Hollywood's legacy studios or becomes the AOL Time Warner of the 2020s. There is no middle outcome.

  Without gaming of some type, most people find their computers useless if their ISP is down. We had a great time on our PC's before the AOL era started.

  @burkov my 70+ year old mother in law. its her AI. all her searches, ideas, projects, tech help, questions. I don’t use it now, but I simply introduce her to the app. Reminds me of AOL at the dawn of the internet.

  @NotPerrysBoobs @ElmWho I spent many hours trying to get it to work with the free aol cd's, but I never did. I think you might have needed to pay an additional fee or something.

  @firstadopter The deal makes total sense to me. Arbitrageurs putting deal likelihood above 50% of going through. Can only make sense to compare to AOL X Time Warner if you think one of FOX or Roku has a bad destiny coming. FOX pays about 6% interest on debt.

  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.

  @SMB_Attorney @nikitabier MSM source = Entrepreneur and AOL? LOL. I recently experienced the life of an FBI press release for a case I was following. Most MSM “outlets” pretty much posted it word-for-word. Several took the time to paraphrase it but introduced some errors/misinformation by doing so. Slop is the norm in MSM news cycles.

  Kids today will never know true frustration, like we had back in the day, waiting ( whilst listening to it scream ) for AOL to connect to the internet on a dial-up modem... only for someone in the house to pick up the phone! 📞💻😩📶
