  @SMB_Attorney Are you going to take away AOL accounts from every eight and nine figure smug dummy in Kañsas too 🤔 Because that could fix a lot of problems for the earth

  @BrianEntin Happy to have you in Loudoun. We were also told these awful buildings would only be up for ten years. The reason the built them here was bc of the original AOL infrastructure which never made any sense to me and is now clearly a lie. They have RUINED our beautiful county.

  @ThrillaRilla369 AOL. I lost my *** on that garbage company when my brokerage managed account doubled down on AOL-Time Warner.

  Two people who were early in Bitcoin and early in Ethereum just went on record about $TAO. One of them wrote a book about Bitcoin in 2013. The other invested in the Ethereum ICO in 2015. Both of them started a fund with Jason Calacanis with a single thesis. Bittensor is the third great open-source substrate after Bitcoin and Ethereum. Here is the exact framing they used. In the early 90s Microsoft, AOL, and CompuServe were the well-capitalised incumbents. Everyone thought they would monopolise and run away with the internet. Then TCP/IP, Linux, and the World Wide Web came along and everything converged on an open-source substrate. Bittensor is that open-source substrate for the AI story playing out right now. OpenAI. Anthropic. Google DeepMind. XAI. Different cast of characters. Same pattern. And this time you can actually own a piece of the open-source substrate. Now read the valuation mismatch that should stop you cold. The four main AI labs combined are worth approximately $1.5 trillion. Bittensor is worth $1.7 billion. Ridges subnet competes directly with Claude and Cursor and has beaten them on benchmarks. Ridges market cap is $30 million. Cursor is worth $30 billion. That is not a small dislocation. That is a comical one. The highest valued subnet in the entire ecosystem is around $80 million. There has never been a billion dollar subnet yet. On Ethereum during the ICO mania projects with nowhere near this quality of output were raising hundreds of millions within minutes. Now think about how many orders of magnitude more capital is chasing AI opportunities today compared to 2017. When that capital discovers Bittensor the valuation rerating will be violent to the upside. Their exact words. Not mine. The man who called $TAO at $3,000 by end of 2026 said it directly. By 2030 it will be a trillion dollar ecosystem. Every molecule in my body is screaming this is another one. The people who read the docs always buy before the people who read the price. This is still early.

  As someone who experienced AOL chatrooms at 12 years old, I get that there should be restrictions and oversight. But I can’t help but feel like maybe there’s better ways to go about it than ID laws or outright bans that don’t consider whether or not a site is 100% adult-oriented.

  @muheediva01 Hmm, a lot of people seem to think Wi-Fi=internet for some reason. There was no wireless internet. It was landline POTS at your house and maybe if you were lucky you had access to a business or school that could afford to lease a T1. In home broadband wasn't a thing yet, it was super expensive, and the internet was often gated through online service providers like AOL, and the original OSP's like Prodigy and CompuServe were still around. This is before even napster, so p2p music downloads weren't really happening yet either. You could play Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, minesweeper or Tetris on your PC. If you had Prodigy you could play MadMaze. The original Civilization and Sid Meier's Pirates! were out then as well. Most days during the summer I would go out and try and get a pickup basketball or baseball game going. If that failed I'd read a book or build **** with legos. After dinner if I wasn't in trouble and had done my chores I could play videogames. I had two sisters I had to share PC and internet time with. It wasn't super common to have a TV in your bedroom, and I didn't. So if you wanted to watch a show or a movie you had to gain consensus.

  @GaryMarcus At best these are all the AOL s of actual AI. But these damn fools and the ones in DC and Wall Street will put us into a depression buying these magic beans.

  @SpaceX service is hands down a nerd's dream. At 37 years old, having gone from getting an AOL disk at the Grand Union to 300+ Mbps from space tickles me in a way my wife can’t.
