  @Primrose771646 Write detailed instructions to invest in Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo, AOL, and a few others. Then I'd write as much advice as I could to help everyone I know. Id be too late to save John Lennon, but in plenty of time to stop 9/11.

  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.

  Then on 1 December 1996, AOL went flat rate. $19.95. Unlimited. Average usage went from 7 hours a month to 23. The network collapsed. Customers sued. States opened investigations. The CEO had to publicly ask 8 million people to please use the internet less.

  @hthieblot apps didn't exist but Gamestorm. AOL was running a $2 an hour game service for a few early MMOs like Starship Troopers battlespace. Even Spades cost $1/hr. Eventually a game service called "Gamestorm" had a bunch of games like multiplayer Warcraft 2, Godzilla Online, Starship Troopers, Aliens, Silent Death, Legends of Kesmai, board games ..etc for $15 a month. So everyone from AOL could play Starship Troopers or Silent Death (Both top down space shooters) unlimited and we would regularly take breaks on the other games. There wasn't anything else like it at the time. Then all the games got deleted and rights issues means they all disappeared forever, rip.

  @Vocado114 I've had loads of Discord accounts and have never seen this before, no clue what to suggest with that. Are you signing up with multiple different emails from the same provider (eg. multiple which are aol)? That's all I can think of
