  @Suhy_Irish @oelma__ @AOL still use my two accounts I started in 2001. they've never let me down. once a week I do a little clean up & the spam folder has always had my back. now, I never open the main page...that's just slop.

  @Pirat_Nation PSN is always going down. Worst online service since AOL. Anyway, it's an excuse for the physical media moaners to start up.

  I think OpenAI and Anthropic might be the CompuServe and AOL of the AI era. Does anyone actually think Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Oracle, IBM, X/Twitter, and all of the other big tech companies will just allow these 2 badly run startups to capture the AI market? OpenAI and Anthropic don't have a moat or sustainable competitive advantage. To win they have to not only develop a moat but penetrate some of the most fortified moats. Model quality isn't a moat. Kimi, Grok, Deepseek proved that. Inference will become a commodity utility that requires massive CapEx that neither can finance. Interface is where the moat is the weakest. OpenAI and Anthropic do not own the apps or the OS. The OS and apps are owned by parties who view OpenAI or Anthropic as threats, and they can complicate things very easily. As if that is not grim enough, AI sovereignty will become an issue. Consumers will want their iCloud data to stay in iCloud, their OneDrive data to stay in OneDrive, etc. Enterprise customers will want AI from their cloud providers to reduce egress and for performance + IP reasons. It is honestly hard to imagine a world where OpenAI and Anthropic survive as they are. They will either morph into companies with entirely different value offerings or die like Compuserve and AOL.

  @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.

  @Bw8496 Yes, America only, and yes I have a VPN because I love talking mad **** on here, like the good old days in the AOL chat rooms.

  First of all, I have to remember more than 5 Icloud email and passwords, more than five gmail and aol account, my in-game credentials, my social media password and security questions, my mom’s facebook password, and my home wifi password. I know when to wrap the **** up.

  @soapweb3 AI AOL dial up service. Yahoo was king and My Space was getting replaced by Facebook. I joined in 2010. This IBM PC Jr. Was around when I was in college learning to code In 88, 89. And you could choose the contrast yoouuu wanted and green was a less desirable choice.

  $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
