  @h_e_p_56 @rationalaxiom I ran a lawn/snow/leaves company made $14.4M by selling the software & web design so that when AOL dialup was going people could see an ad for a service near them. Simple HTML I was 17 sitting in business class Junior year and this fool great guy trying to tell me?

  @SarahSevans2000 Hit 19, I never had an AOL address, I could have but I didn't. A lot of those are the result of working in a law office though.

  @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.

  $30 million is competing against $30 billion and winning. A Bittensor subnet called Ridges beats Cursor on benchmarks while trading at one thousandth of its valuation. Zoom out, and the gap gets wider: Four AI labs worth $1.5 trillion, the open substrate challenging them worth $1.7 billion. The last time closed incumbents looked this unbeatable, they were called AOL and CompuServe. Open source has never lost this fight. Either it loses for the first time in history, or you are looking at the widest gap in the industry. @opentensor bittensor:native

  Hey @AOL You want to charge $70 to get back someone's account that has been hacked. And you're customer service is horrendous as well.

  It’s weird that my Facebook login uses a AOL email that is made by step dad that I have no clue what the password is to that AOL account because I don’t use AOL

  @simonsarris Scrounging AOL disks out of the garbage for 120 more minutes of free Internet.

  I hate digging into my credentials, but in the context of online child safety and child exploitation, they matter because governments and child safety lobbyists are railroading everyone with personal opinions based on dangerous ideology. Being a parent doesn't qualify me to say what actually works, what' doesn't, and what the cost is in relation to privacy. I've spent more years building standards, API services, filtering technologies, and content moderation techniques than just about anyone. Very few experts sit at the intersection of internet infrastructure, telecommunications, app security, child exploitation detection technology, and content classification and filtering; I'm one of them. People with my background are being entirely ignored by policymakers for a reason. We know what's technically possible, what's not, and the catastrophic costs of getting it wrong. Security isn't just at odds with convenience, it's almost always fundamentally at odds with privacy. I built my first website 30 years ago, and was introduced to online child safety and content moderation that same year, in 1996, when I joined AOL. At the time, I helped launch new technologies and ran global testing for the launch of AIM, AOL's instant messenger and the internet's first consumer instant messaging app. I co-founded the W3C standard for content labelling and web classification, and in 2004, co-invented the concept of classifying internet accounts (labelling them by risk, identity, or purpose). I foresaw that the future of online trust and safety required filtering accounts, not just websites and web pages. Features like Twitter's verified checkmark and LinkedIn's verification are implementations of this very idea - they just got it wrong. I've run operational calls with The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and the US Department of Justice on the automation of monitoring, detection and reporting, and I signed an MOU with NCMEC to help combat exploitation through browser software and mobile security services that my teams built for online child safety. The keyword tracking list Thorn shared with partners came from me over 15 years ago, inherited from a colleague who built it for CEOP while seconded from AOL. I also advised IWF. My team built the first child safety API service for mobile device OEMs, an even deeper kind of device-level scanning than Chat Control. Samsung was set to embed it in every device they sold, and Apple planned to put it in the settings of every iPhone, iPad, and Mac, around 1.3 billion devices between them. So I know what this kind of technology can and can't do on a phone, and I know what it costs in terms of end user privacy. Both deals drifted away because we were too early, one of the hardest things about being a tech founder. Years later, Samsung and Apple built parental controls so good that a parent can now block any app or website on a child's phone in a couple of minutes. When I was interviewed on BBC Newsnight 14 years ago, it was to demonstrate how bad parental controls were. Now I'm telling you they're as good as I could possibly hope for. Most leading security companies license my patents for in-app security, covering more than 50 categories of classification, including anti-phishing, malware, child abuse, pornography, and disinformation. Chat Control 2.0 mandates client-side scanning of links for apps like Signal. Luckily of Signal, they require my permission or face infringing in my patents. I'm *extremely* unlikely (read that as never) to license my patents for the purpose of government mandated censorship. I have declined governments in the past and I will do it again in the future.
