  LOL, compete with other streaming mergers. Paramount+ works worse than AOL dial-up in the 1990's. It sucks so bad they need help!

  @whymyPPhurt6969 @PanthersGamer @GhillieYT They will never "pull the license" if u don't break TOS. Even if they cease to exist. U'd still have access. Just like AOL email still exists even though they don't. They just leave your username open. Breaking TOS is what "revocable license" is all about not just when they want.

  @Martyupnorth We paid for AOL for 3 months and ended up getting 18 months free. If you paid even once and then called to cancel so you could use a free trial, they just gave you another month free. Those free trials kept coming. How did they make money?

  Robert Johnson explains the exit-timing test behind selling BET to Viacom. BET had gone public in 1991 as "the first African American company publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange." Then Johnson and John Malone "bought the company back private in '98." The question became: "How do we continue to grow it and at the same time create an exit strategy for Liberty Media?" Then the market gave him a signal. "AOL merged with Time Warner." "That was sort of the highest valuation for media companies you'd ever see in a long time." When Sumner Redstone called, Johnson's first answer was not yes. "I don't think it's for sale." "Maybe we'd like you as a partner." "But I'm not ready to sell." He sold only after the control terms protected the asset. "If they wanted me to stay at the company for the five years I was going to sign the contract, it had to be independent." "I would only report to Sumner or Mel." When I look at a sale, this is the part I care about. The high valuation matters, but the better question is whether the buyer, timing, and control terms protect what made the asset valuable. - Robert Johnson on FoundationINTERVIEWS

  I think OpenAI and Anthropic might be the CompuServe and AOL of the AI era. Does anyone actually think Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Oracle, IBM, X/Twitter, and all of the other big tech companies will just allow these 2 badly run startups to capture the AI market? OpenAI and Anthropic don't have a moat or sustainable competitive advantage. To win they have to not only develop a moat but penetrate some of the most fortified moats. Model quality isn't a moat. Kimi, Grok, Deepseek proved that. Inference will become a commodity utility that requires massive CapEx that neither can finance. Interface is where the moat is the weakest. OpenAI and Anthropic do not own the apps or the OS. The OS and apps are owned by parties who view OpenAI or Anthropic as threats. The OS and apps are where AI choice happens. As if that is not grim enough, AI sovereignty will become an issue. Consumers will want their iCloud data to stay in iCloud, their OneDrive data to stay in OneDrive, etc. Enterprise customers will want AI from their cloud providers to reduce egress and for performance + IP reasons. It is honestly hard to imagine a world where OpenAI and Anthropic survive as they are. They will either morph into companies with entirely different value offerings or die like Compuserve and AOL.

  @dark_coderz Stay living with mom and dad, Work for 6 months, put all the salary/pay into Amazon Intel Nvidia and Google stock as it comes available. Stay away from Netscape entirely. Buy AOL and hold it for 1-2 years then sell all. Likewise with Yahoo Beyond that, Dont sell - ever. Just let it ride Avoid the military - great experience but bad things on the near horizon

  @Gzalzi @chaakravue I have been on the internet since AOL. That was not rage bait. He genuinely is just an idiot.
