  @AmericanAir what happened to this airline. The customer service is the worst in the business. Can’t get through by phone, chat is third world and the technology rivals that of AOL instant messaging … complete crap airline. Our Tavel agency will never use AA again

  @YourFavWV Never did AOL. I fixed a lot of computers for people who did. Not an impressive cross section of humanity.

  You're prompting frontier AI through the same keyboard layout you used for AOL Instant Messenger. The models got 1000x smarter. The interface didn't move an inch. $5.5M says Aina's building the fix. This is the hardware gap I've been watching for someone to close.

  @GrowingUpRetro I did not use them all. Never used AOL and never slept on a waterbed.

  @claudeai Why not for us that don’t spend $1200 a year? Why put us thru a meter like AOL in the old days when parents opened their phone bills and went bananas. And all that for a mythos lite which is what fable is. You’re pushing people away. To quote your own Claude in an interaction w me: “Makes sense as a complaint — Fable being the restricted, safety-hardened variant of the same underlying model is exactly why “why not just give me the real thing” feels reasonable.”

  People prefer to pay flat rates than metered. In today's age, you can give an agent monthly budget (flat rate) and not have to worry about how many micropayments it makes for products/services. Excerpt from "Case Against Micropayments": "What was the biggest complaint of AOL users? Not the widely mocked and irritating blue bar that appeared when members downloaded information. Not the frequent unsolicited junk e-mail. Not dropped connections. Their overwhelming gripe: the ticking clock. Users didn’t want to pay by the hour anymore. ... Case had heard from one AOL member who insisted that she was being cheated by AOL’s hourly rate pricing. When he checked her average monthly usage, he found that she would be paying AOL more under the flat-rate price of $19.95. When Case informed the user of that fact, her reaction was immediate. ‘I don’t care,’ she told an incredulous Case. ’I am being cheated by you.’"

  @qlypai For @twigl_it I don't think of it as a wrapper around a frontier model, but I guess you could say that. In my view, all frontier models will follow the path of AOL. It's moving rapidly along the same trajectory. AOL mail, chat were all massively popular; AOL's valuation went to the moon, etc. But then dedicated tools came in, and against the single focus, AOL couldn't compete. Once SpaceX launches space-based datacenters along with Starlink, the game will be up. My bet is that the harness is where the value is at. I have really zero loyalty to a particular model; I just want the highest raw intelligence with the ability to throttle down for work that doesn't need it. It's not even clear to me what Anthropic or OpenAI think is actually going to happen. I am sure they can see from their own metrics that like 95% of users are just using it as a glorified search engine. The mass does not care at all about the companies and will use whatever is best and free (i.e., ad-supported). In the long run, Google will likely win. So a true wrapper, like simply putting the API with a bit of context, will become irrelevant to higher levels of intelligence, but I don't think the frontier models can ever win against a superior harness on a really specific proprietary data pool. I am betting that people would rather have more control over their own data, be able to better direct context, and be able to use the best-performing self-healing skills with tools with the most intelligent model that is out there.
