  Marc Andreessen on the exact moment the Internet changed forever: "There are two Internets," Marc explains. "There's the Internet that existed before 1993 and the Internet that existed after 1993." Before 1993, the Internet was funded by the National Science Foundation as an academic and research network. Commercial activity was strictly prohibited under what was called the acceptable use policy. The result was something the people who lived through it still describe in utopian terms. @pmarca describes it like this: "People who were on the Internet before 1993 often describe it in utopian terms because it literally was like you take the whatever million smartest people in the world and you put them on a network together with like no commercial activity, no advertising, no nothing, just the million smartest people in the world. And you just like let them talk to each other. And it's just like amazing." He singles out Usenet, the old messaging system, as the centerpiece of that world: "The discussions on Usenet were just like absolutely spectacular… It was like the most pure, clean intellectual, like vibrant space sense, like, I don't know, Athens in 500 BC. It was just like this amazing phenomenon." Then AOL connected. In September 1993, AOL plugged its million or two million subscribers. Normal people into the Internet for the first time. That moment got a name: eternal September. It was the day the Internet stopped being an ivory tower and became a mainstream consumer thing. The "eternal" part is its own joke. Marc explains: "Concept of eternal September literally was, it was like when every new wave of college graduates graduated and got their first job and then went online. So September is when the new crop of Internet users showed up… So the September effect didn't just happen once. It like happened over and over and over and over and over again. And every cycle of Internet user would basically be like, oh my God, this is great. But like, it's all going to get ruined in September." The Internet we live in today is the result of roughly 30 of those Septembers stacked on top of each other. Marc is careful to say he's pro that shift. He was on the side of opening it up, allowing commerce, allowing advertising, connecting everyone. But he doesn't pretend the trade-off wasn't real. You can't take a network of the smartest million people on earth, connect it to everyone, and expect the texture of the conversation to survive. The lesson sits underneath the story. Every great network has a pre-commercial phase that the early users remember as paradise, and a post-commercial phase that actually changes the world. Both are real. You don't get the second without giving up the first.

  At The Table with Deirdre Lester (@JaneWallStreet) reported 4 minutes ago

  Erika talks to @GanunLester about leadership and the learning lessons she has taken from big places like Microsoft, Yahoo & AOL, but also smaller shops like Barstool and Food52. Erika is a builder. She "wants to be pushing things and finding new frontiers". "So my advice to anybody in leadership is like: One, you just have to be exceedingly generous. Two, there should be no job beneath you. Three is like you're gonna take an inordinate amount of ****, whether you did something right or did something wrong or not." Being a leader means you are on the front lines of suffering and adversity. Embrace it and dig deep.

  Open Ai = AOL circa 2000 There are so many Ai models catching up to.. and now passing Open Ai.. and ironically it’s because they are a closed source model. Their economics are fatally flawed. And they have an awful CEO. AOL was popular because people back in the 90’s people thought it was the best (and/or only) way to access the internet and email. Turned out aol was just first. Not the best or only. Just like Chat GPT. Open Ai was the first to market with Chat.. and has lived off that advantage. BUT - that is OVER now. So many Ai companies are passing Chat GPT in cost and performance… (This is why $MSFT and $ORCL are down this year,, they hitched their wagons to the wrong Ai player) Scam Altman is a charlatan and he will drive that company into the ground. $MSFT knows this now and wants out

  @Prolotario1 Back in the day, we paid for email. AOL was 9.99 a month. I decided to switch to free Yahoo. Called AOL to cancel. They offered me 3 free months. I said ok, then cancelled. They then sent me a paper bill for the 3 months.

  When you allow people who don’t know behave like they know. I bet, I can digest for you APG problems from the 10th parliament. Ego, Ego, cliques, “headboy” you need a silent leader to manage those people. The interim leadership is @norbertmao deputized by Betty Aol and Nancy Achora, has it been any better ? Would have love APG to go with some with power and authority but it has not work previously.

  @GoldLoverXo I personally think history simply repeats itself. Just like in the .com bubble most of the early investors sold as they drop the price down through many different levels of manipulation. The big boys loaded up cheap as retail panic sold. Before the utility like Google, Yahoo,AOL.

  @I_AM_WILDCAT Battlenet is terrible. I hate everything about it. Trillion dollar company with an MSDOS interface and AOL dial up speeds & connectivity.

  Yep. Got in BIG trouble as a teen because we didn’t have internet at home so I grabbed a free AOL disc from Kmart then snuck a line from the phone block through ceiling into my bedroom and accidentally picked a non local access number and let it run at nights racking up huge bill
