  @neglbaren @freedom_007__ If you know horses all you need to do is look at the horses. William has light hands and his horses are soft. Harry’s are a knot of tension as he rips their mouths and slams his spurs in them. First hand knowledge here. I will never forget him ripping on those horses. He is a horrible human. Too bad old AOL message boards are gone there were a bunch of us who volunteered and we all were appalled.

  @pe_remek Flat-rate dial-up ran on the same circuit-switched lines as per-minute dial-up. AOL sold $19.95 unlimited in 1996 with the phone network unchanged. If circuit switching forced per-minute billing, that plan could not have existed. It did, and millions bought it. So the meter was a pricing choice, not a property of the wire. It came off dial-up by decision, and Anthropic just announced the same move for its best model: folding it back into a flat subscription.

  Since I have been casting aspersions on "Agile as Practiced in Nearly Every Project with a Certified Scrum Master", I should tell you about some projects I was on that worked. One on the most interesting ones was during my Network Management product development phase. I was hired by ARINC to work on software for the Iridium project. Shortly thereafter, one of the directors came up with an idea for a commercial product. He wanted a no code drag and drop UI to create a GUI to show and control SNMP values. We went to two Networld-Interop shows a year, one in Las Vegas and one in Atlanta. He wanted a new minor release for each trade show. The product owner would give the dev team a list of prioritized features. The five developers would meet and decide what we could do by the next release and worked in order of priority. That's it. Simple and effective. The code was written in C/C++ and was written to run on Windows, SunOS, HP-UX, and AIX. We used a OSS GUI library called InterViews. It integrated with HP OpenView and IBM NetView. From a business perspective, the project was a failure. We made sales, but not enough. Eventually the project was terminated an we were all laid off. That is when I was hire by AOL, but that is another story.

  Before the AI kings, there was another king. His story tells you exactly how AI race ends. In the 90s, AOL was the internet. If you wanted to go online, you went through AOL. Their CDs were in every mailbox in America. At their peak they were worth more than Disney, Ford and Boeing combined. They even bought Time Warner, the biggest media empire on earth, like it was a snack. Then the internet became a utility. It moved to the companies holding the infra, the telecom guys. And AOL's birthright on the internet vanished. The pipe owners made real money, AT&T still makes billions every year, but at utility margins. The crazy money showed up at the application layer in the next decade. Google, Amazon, Netflix. They didn't own the internet. They just paid for it like everyone else and built the best service on top. The bottom layer was open to anyone at a price, so the top layer went to whoever served the customer best. No birthright. Just service. Now let's look at AI. Today the frontier labs stand where AOL stood in the late 90s. They own the models, they own the access, they are the most valuable companies of this era. But intelligence is already becoming a utility with open weights. The model is turning into the pipe, and the pipe will move to whoever hosts it cheapest. Better chips, cheaper power, data centers next to geothermal plants or up in orbit. Good business, real money, but utility margins. And again, the crazy money will show up one layer above, again. Apps built on open intelligence, paying for it like everyone pays for internet, winning because they serve the customer best. Nobody has a birthright there. Not even the labs. They can compete for it, with everyone else at a level playing field. The internet made AOL the king and then made the internet free. AI is about to do the same thing to its kings.
