  Different decade, same math: half the S&P 500 is priced at levels that a dot-com CEO called proof of investor insanity while watching his company crater 90%. The rotation at the top: In early 2000, the ten most valuable S&P 500 companies read like a monument to permanent dominance: Microsoft, General Electric, Cisco, Walmart, ExxonMobil, Intel, Lucent, IBM, Citigroup, AOL. A generation later, only Microsoft remains. GE was carved into three separate companies. Lucent was absorbed by Nokia. AOL became the cautionary tale attached to the worst merger in corporate history. Cisco and Intel spent 25 years climbing back to their dot-com peaks. Citigroup, IBM, Walmart, and ExxonMobil still exist, but none crack the top ten. The new top ten is Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and the AI infrastructure complex. Investors in 2000 were also certain they were buying the future's permanent giants. The data says most of today's winners won't be in the top ten a generation from now either, and there is no mechanism by which you find out which ones survive in advance. The valuation problem: In 2002, after Sun Microsystems collapsed 90%, CEO Scott McNealy explained to investors exactly what a 10x sales multiple actually demands: 100% of revenues paid as dividends for ten consecutive years, with zero costs, zero R&D, zero taxes, and zero employees. He was describing the math of the price investors had paid for his stock as a form of collective psychosis. Today, 51% of the S&P 500 by market cap trades above 10x sales. Half the index. The AI narrative is functioning as the dot-com narrative functioned: a story compelling enough to make the math feel optional. The math has never been optional.

  @WorkElizab Probably Joe he can't do any more damage. Kind of like AOL being the employee of the year at Goya

  @art_zucker The problem is, they’ve got you all conditioned to pay for tokens like minutes on AOL.

  @munster_gene 1) the kids stuff is great for Brand 2) it’s too complicated 3) designed by “experts” (w/ any kids?) 4) it won’t get used much How do we know all this? We learned it all with AOL Parental Controls; was a KEY reason parents chose AOL; kids were the ones who knew it best (shutting it off); overall, minimal usage. anyone with kids, smiles at #2 above, in particular — engr, father of six, decade at Apple, five at AOL p.s. We will never see any stats on Apple/iPhone “kid safety” usage, due to points above; they’ll just keep taking about how they work with “experts”, who ironically, often have few or no, children.

  @dr_bouchard @mediainfluence9 @JuddLegum AI isn't a traditional bubble. AI is in its infancy - like looking at AOL and saying you'll never shop on the internet.

  @LauraLoomer I was there when the internet first became a public space Back when you got 3 AOL disks in the mail every week Everyone thought that with the internet giving access to the sum total of human knowledge to everyone, regardless of class or income or credentials, that the population would become more informed than ever before in human history What happened - Within ten years99% of the internet became disinformation, games, and **** I think that the internet has brought more bad than good

  “I had to get on the AOL dial up to find out who this Bari Weiss is. Substack? What is that? My internet connection is too slow to load the images “

  @ThrillaRilla369 I was a mainframe systems programmer, I did not 'surf the web' back in the day, terribly insecure (worse now). I used IBMLink my entire career. We used arapnet, other early networks to research data at Berkley, UCLA, JPL. Mainframes are secure, always have been. When PC's, the web for everyone, AOL came out, we laughed and stayed with secure connections. We had email on the mainframe, profs (under VM) for word processing, long before the public knew what those things were. There is no security out in this non-ethernet world now! Https means nothing. Data mining is to be expected and reading terms and conditions should have intelligent people running from certain apps. I have never had a FB presence, nor will I. I constantly ask anyone around me, family, churches, friends, who pressure me for one app or another, "did you read their terms and conditions?" I know, Thrilla, you wanted cute answers. I'm supplying truth. X is my only social media and my husband had to talk me into it. Now, I'm a posting, replying, liking, following fool! But I won't download any other.
