  I was likening it to banning Usenet, BBS'es, forums, all of which I was on before 16 -- and AOL Instant Messenger which was invented after I was older -- but this is true too. Awful mistake. Though if it gets kids reading more again from boredom, that could be one silver lining.

  @Hitchslap1 Oh, this is funny. Did I ever tell you about the time I got one of my first jobs early on AOL? I was a moderator for the men’s message boards. They never knew their moderator was a woman. They just saw my title “moderator.” It was interesting to watch the dynamics of the different boards I was in charge of.

  @VerizonSupport the directions I’m given do NOT MATCH my screen. I a sick of the incessant outages and lack of support, I’ll cancel my contract with Verizon and find a provider that actually DOES allow access! AOL in the 90’s was faster!

  NETSCAPE was like AOL, Browser type systems - that all changed in 2000. Using your Phone line was fun - 20 minuet downloads for a Bitmap / Jpeg picture. No one today could "put up" with how slow things used to be. Websites were made with Wordpress and were limited to say the least.

  AOL had 30M users, and the internet locked down. Then the open web ate it. Anthropic and OpenAI are playing AOL right now. The Fable 5 rug pull just showed every enterprise exactly what it looks like to depend on closed AI. The off switch exists. Someone else holds it. Llama, Mistral, Qwen - they're not "almost as good" anymore. For most enterprise workloads, they're good enough. And they run on your own hardware. Apple MLX + NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops + rapidly improving open weights = the mainframe-to-PC transition, happening in real time. Open-source AI will do to Frontier Labs what the open internet did to AOL. History doesn't always repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes. The only question is how long you keep building on someone else's infrastructure before you start owning yours.

  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.
