  @KolotRabbi We had this year's ago with AOL. They would not let us cancel; kept giving us extensions for free. Went on for months.

  @Wild_Nefari @Hulex My only reason for discord usage is for streaming & community build it has far better tools for that. TG I use it for virtually anything. But damn I do miss the days of MIRC or AOL cause when you send a file it doesn’t matter how big it was.

  Should we need to pay for email? In 2006, AOL and Yahoo announced priority delivery for senders willing to pay somewhere around a penny per message, with the promise that those messages would bypass the spam filter. The diagnosis behind it was correct. Email often breaks because sending is free, and when volume costs nothing, volume becomes the strategy (hello AI outbound!). Everything built afterward (filters, blocklists, sender reputation scores) is an attempt to patch a problem that is fundamentally about economics, and not about technology. Today, the same dynamic plays out on a much larger surface. AI agents can complete forms, take surveys, open accounts, and browse sites at a scale that would have been unimaginable for a spam operation twenty years ago, and most of that activity still registers in company dashboards as ordinary human demand. What I find most encouraging about Proof of Human is that this doesn't require the previous tradeoff. There's no toll, no puzzle, and nothing for a genuine visitor to notice or solve, because verification runs continuously in the background across the whole session rather than at a single checkpoint. When a decision does get made, there's a record behind it that a team can actually inspect, rather than an opaque score they're asked to trust. The email industry spent two decades learning that you can't tax your way to trust, and that authentication works better than obstruction. That lesson is worth carrying into whatever comes next.

  @CNBC EM is so full of ****! Enough. Buying Tesla because no one is buying Tesla’s anymore. More Starlink satellites?? The only piece of the business that sort of makes money. People in the woods in Bucharest that are moving off AOL?

  Airtable sold for a tenth of its peak. The founders kept the AI business. Bending Spoons announced today it's buying Airtable, all cash. The headline number hides three better stories. The deal: - Enterprise value: $1.285 billion - Equity value: ~$2.25 billion, but only because Airtable is sitting on ~$965M of net cash - Read that again: nearly half the purchase price is Airtable's own unspent money being handed back to shareholders - Peak valuation: $11.7B, December 2021 Series F. The business just cleared at roughly 89% below that - ARR: ~$480M, growing 20%. That's ~2.7x revenue. SpaceX paid 15x for Cursor six weeks ago The waterfall, per a widely shared model built on public terms (directional, assumes vanilla 1x prefs): - Everyone from Series C onward took par. Coatue, Thrive, Greenoaks, XN wrote checks at $1.1B, $2.6B, $5.8B, and $11.7B posts and got 1.0x of money back - CRV: ~21x on the 2015 Series A, ~6x on the B - Caffeinated Capital: ~37x on the A1 - Freestyle and Felix Shpilman at the 2013 seed: ~55x - ~$960M left for converting holders. The three founders, assuming ~15% held, split about $144M. Call it $50M each after 13 years - Same lesson as always: the last four rounds funded the exit for the first three Now the buried lede, from the SEC filing: - Before signing, Airtable ran a reorganization that transferred the entire "Hyperagent" business line out of the company into a separate entity, Hyperagent Inc - Hyperagent is the AI agent orchestration platform Airtable unveiled in early 2026, spin up teams of autonomous agents across your business tools - Bending Spoons is buying the database, the workflows, the 500K orgs, the 80% of the Fortune 100, and the $480M of recurring revenue - The seller is keeping the agents On Hyperagent's performance: there are no disclosed numbers. It launched roughly six months ago. No ARR, no customer counts, nothing public. What we know is that it was worth carving out of a billion-dollar deal, which is its own kind of disclosure. On whether the founders stay: nobody has said explicitly. Howie Liu's statement talks about "building the AI-native platform of the future," which reads either way on purpose. But follow the structure, not the quotes. The founders' holding company now owns Hyperagent outright, free of the legacy business. One newsletter's blunt read: Liu keeps the AI project without having to be the one who does the layoffs. The Italians do that part. And they will. Bending Spoons' playbook is public record: buy at a discount, cut deep, raise prices on customers too embedded to leave, run it for cash. Evernote, WeTransfer, Vimeo, AOL in January, Eventbrite in March. Airtable is the first deal since its July Nasdaq listing at $18.4B, and the first paid for with public-market currency. The frame: a decacorn built over 13 years just sold its core for less than the cash on its own balance sheet plus a modest premium, while the founders walked out the back door with the AI upside in a clean-room entity. The 2021 vintage investors got their money back and nothing else. The seed got 55x. And the most honest sentence in the whole transaction is a highlighted paragraph in a 6-K that nobody reads. Every exit this cycle tells you where the value is. This one says: the workflows are worth 2.7x revenue. The agents are worth keeping.
