  @ThisisLukeOwen @WrestleTalk_TV @OliDavis Maybe you should start all listening again because he has constantly said what mistakes is made. Yes WCW was badly run but only when the AOL merger & Thunder were brought in on hisxwatch. he couldn't have been doing a bad job if they were winning 83 weeks in a row.

  WhatsApp is bad. What are we using now? Telegram? Signal? AOL Instant Messenger? Pagers? Opening a window and screaming?

  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.

  Airtable was worth $11 billion in 2021. Bending Spoons just bought it for an equity value of $2.25 billion. That's not a down round, that's a crater — roughly 80% of the value evaporated for the VCs who backed it, including Silver Lake and Salesforce Ventures. What makes this deal different from Bending Spoons' usual playbook is the customer. Evernote, WeTransfer, AOL — those are consumer brands, and the formula was always the same: acquire, cut headcount hard, optimize monetization, never sell. WeTransfer tested that formula's limits last year when a terms update tried to claim AI-training rights over user files, and had to reverse course within days. Airtable's customer base is 80% of the Fortune 100, running actual operational workflows on the platform, not casual file transfers. The same cost-cutting and monetization playbook that worked on consumer apps runs into a different kind of resistance when the users are enterprise data teams who can migrate a workflow, but can't tolerate a surprise terms change. Bending Spoons is about to find out if the model scales up, or if it only worked because the stakes were low enough that nobody was watching closely.

  A programmer built a database because software on a US Navy destroyer could not afford to lose its connection. Today that tiny database sits inside every iPhone, Android phone, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, and most people have never heard his name. His name is D. Richard Hipp. The database is SQLite. In 2000, Hipp was helping build software for the USS Oscar Austin, a guided-missile destroyer. The program helped sailors respond when the ship was damaged. If a pipe burst, it could find the valves sailors needed to close, the other valves they needed to open, and exactly where each one was located. During a real attack, this could mean smoke, flooding, broken pipes, and people trying to keep the ship alive. All that information was stored inside an Informix database. When the database server worked, everything was fine. But sometimes the server went down. Sailors would open the damage-control program and get a message saying it could not connect to the database. Hipp’s team did not control the server. They still got blamed because their software showed the error. Hipp started asking a simple question: Why did the program need a database server at all? It only needed to read information from the ship’s computer. Why could it not pull that data directly from the disk? Then government funding paused, leaving Hipp without contract work for a few months. So he built the database himself. SQLite had no separate server to connect to. No administrator had to keep it running. The entire database could live inside one file, and the application could read that file directly. If the computer was working, the database was working. The Navy kept Informix as its official system, but Hipp’s team began using SQLite for development and testing. Then Hipp released it on the internet. Someone managed to run a full SQL database on a Palm Pilot. Motorola called and paid him to improve it for a new phone operating system. AOL wanted it because it needed a database small enough to fit on its installation CDs. Then Mozilla, Symbian, Adobe, Google, and countless other companies followed. When Android began shipping SQLite on millions of phones, users found bugs Hipp had never seen before. So he spent about a year working 60-hour weeks to bring it up to aviation-style testing standards. Today SQLite estimates that more than one trillion active databases may exist across the world. They store browser history, messages, settings, contacts, app data, and countless other pieces of our digital lives. The database created because a warship could not trust a server became the database billions of devices trust when no server exists.

  .@Ask_Spectrum is worse than AOL dial up—by far. Some manager gave me his number so I could call him if things got bad again. No reply. I need to spend my time trying to save my life from the massive malpractice by Kaiser. My energy is just crushed every day. I struggle to write even a few lines. Dealing with Spectrum again and again and again and it never been fixed is energy outlay I cannot afford.

  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.
