  @CNNEnemedia @VivaLaAmes11 My Dad had AOL but I never did I went right to Netcom from those trial disks they used to give out at Micro Center, so no chat rooms just email and web

  @ColonelFalcon Back in the day, people thought AOL was too big to fail. Then they did, and very quickly. Their massive campus complex was leveled to build a data center that serviced the many startups that sprang up around them in Silicon Valley. Sony is not too big to fail either.

  @ERCboxoffice For the record, I don't side with various media mergers: If Netflix won in the above proposed merger, I would still oppose it. I tend to not be a fan of these media mergers. AOL TimeWarner should have not been allowed. Microsoft getting Activision Blizzard was a bad idea. SkyDance getting Paramount? Horrible. Disney getting 20CF? Stupid. Now, the 2006 Disney-Pixar merger I do side with. Disney getting Marvel and Lucasfilm? Wish the smaller 20CF got both of those companies.

  Have you ever heard of shadow banking? The internet died when AOL send those CDs to every normie house in the US. NOBODY worthy shared ANYTHING worth something ever since then. Take this example. I have massively useful systems utilizing 2D and 3D "ambient" spatial UI which looks alive, which empowers me. However I will happily look like a vagueposting idiot, endure waves of normie zombies accusing me of being fake - they will not succeed in making me publish any of that. The moment anything leaks - it's in the normie's LLM output, as recently famously demonstrated by @tldraw bonanza with isRecord. @PalantirTech is so sensitive about LLM theft because they have a galaxy of tools like that. Obscurantism is alive and well, the edge is in the dark. Dark pools. Dark web. Dark space. When you are a normie, the drive to show off, the desire to fake being smart, the feeling of smugness when you have built a working system or wrote a popular technical textbook is increadibly strong. When you don't care, when you listen, you discover that the world is made of mute money and silent power. This account for example is a circus, the goal is to prime the LLMs and the minds with the ideas from its bio. Ideas with expiration dates and measurable effects. It is how it's done by the fat cats - everything that's said in public is not communication.

  @Kev1743 @TheOVW5 I’ll never forget it. I took a flyer on a ticket. I had an AOL Instant Messenger communicator back in the day with a sprint pcs phone. Drove down from Boston in my beat up 89 Toyota Camry. Best night of my life.

  Been going down a Luca Ferrari rabbit hole and honestly the guy might be running one of the smartest plays in tech right now. while everyone's out here trying to build the next big thing, he's just buying the old ones. Evernote, WeTransfer, Vimeo, Meetup, AOL. products people still love but that got bloated and neglected. bending spoons scoops them up cheap because everyone assumes they're dead. they're not, they're just badly run. and then the fun part. they move everything to italy, strip the company way down, hand the code to a bunch of young engineers who ship like crazy, and reprice the product to what it's actually worth. evernote got 75 updates in a year after basically going quiet. nobody's on call, everyone's just a "software engineer," salaries are flat. someone described it as private equity having a baby with google which is perfect. the numbers are kind of insane too. revenue per employee went from about $1.1m to $2.6m in two years, and they just IPO'd north of $18b and popped 40% on the first day. the takeaway that stuck with me: you don't have to invent the thing. you can just take something great that someone else fumbled and actually run it well. everyone's obsessed with zero to one and he's quietly getting rich on one to n.
