  @NotTodayEric I had a 22 year old ask me what "aol" was the other day. She looked at me like I was crazy when I described the discs that came in the mail and played her the sound it made when it connected to the internet. Damn kids have no idea what we went through.

  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.

  @MilkRoadAI Frontier models appear headed down the AOL road. If Anthropic and OpenAI fail, I wonder who gets dragged down with them.

  @quirkyloner I remember being an internet elitist at age 12 and looking down on AOL users (esp AOL chatrooms) as uncultured swine while I, an intellectual, used IRC for my chat needs. While also using AOL for my internet lol

  The only problem I have with X is that I never feel like I’m genuinely talking to people or replying/getting replies from real people. I wish it felt like the old days in AOL chat rooms where it felt like real people surrounded our conversations. It feels all botted and AI now.
