  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.

  AOL 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.

  Now my @yahoo account never once has stated that I’m outta storage nor asked me to purchase extra data. And that’s the first account I’ve had since @aol and that was after you got that blue cd from Walmart to get a trial period on the internet.

  @llandoniffirg 18, unless you count a word processor typewriter as a typewriter then 19. I purposefully never had an AOL account. I remember when the AO-HELLERS first came online back before the web; the days of Archie, ELM, Veronica, and chat boards. I'd have added BBS to the list though.

  @Aubrey_Senyolo @DiscussingFilm Every giant corporation that has purchased WB since AOL has seen it become a huge pain for their businesses. Will Skydance be taken down too?

  @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.

  @xuzin3sefh I mean, I was in tech for so long running companies with a 56K modem you know back in the old days I mean, I ran companies during the time of AOL dial up America online. I don’t even know if you’ve heard of that but eventually, I got so burned out on it. I couldn’t even I played games Xbox PlayStation PC everything for 40 years you know it’s like after a while. I got so tired. I couldn’t even pick up the damn mouse for the keyboard. I just like I can’t do it. I’d buy like a PlayStation, which sits there for like two years before I even opened it and then I didn’t even play people think just working on PCs is nice and simple and oh no it’s not. It’s much more stressful people better realize they can burn themselves out permanently if they’re not careful.

  @WorkElizab Probably Joe he can't do any more damage. Kind of like AOL being the employee of the year at Goya

  @muheediva01 Hmm, a lot of people seem to think Wi-Fi=internet for some reason. There was no wireless internet. It was landline POTS at your house and maybe if you were lucky you had access to a business or school that could afford to lease a T1. In home broadband wasn't a thing yet, it was super expensive, and the internet was often gated through online service providers like AOL, and the original OSP's like Prodigy and CompuServe were still around. This is before even napster, so p2p music downloads weren't really happening yet either. You could play Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, minesweeper or Tetris on your PC. If you had Prodigy you could play MadMaze. The original Civilization and Sid Meier's Pirates! were out then as well. Most days during the summer I would go out and try and get a pickup basketball or baseball game going. If that failed I'd read a book or build **** with legos. After dinner if I wasn't in trouble and had done my chores I could play videogames. I had two sisters I had to share PC and internet time with. It wasn't super common to have a TV in your bedroom, and I didn't. So if you wanted to watch a show or a movie you had to gain consensus.
