  @LarryBundyJr Thank god for the fan-made Insignia Live online service as most of those update patches and DLC are now available to download and install again, though EA used their own servers for their own games and thus the online services for them can’t be revived by fans, at least not yet anyway. Also, there was DLC on Dreamcast and even roster updates for some of the Sega Sports titles, even though keeping the DLC on the VMUs while having room for game saves was very difficult due to the paltry 200 block (about 128 KB) storage limitations. Not only that, but there were also online services for the Intellivision and the Atari 2600, in the form of PlayCable and GameLine, respectively, with the latter of the two eventually restructuring itself into what is now AOL today.

  let’s start off with the claim that he hacked the cia. reality: justin liverman has never actually hacked anything before, his claim of hacking the cia comes from when his group social engineered AOL to reset a guy who works at the CIA’s email. this is the easiest thing ever 1/2

  @Maegatron3030 19 for me. I never messed with AOL. Those discs we’d get for free though. All the time!

  Koalas already sleep 18 to 20 hours a day just to survive on a diet of tough, low-calorie eucalyptus leaves, so during breeding season, when males travel across territory and call repeatedly searching for a mate, that search comes at a real energy cost. If success doesn't come quickly, researchers have observed both males and females essentially cut their losses, males quiet down and stop searching, while females retreat to familiar trees and reduce movement to lower stress and conserve energy. It's less about giving up out of frustration and more about biology forcing a hard limit, koalas run on such a strict energy budget that continuing to search nonstop could actually drain the reserves they need just to stay healthy for the next breeding opportunity. Later in the season, once energy reserves stabilize, males often pick the calls back up again. There's something oddly relatable about an animal whose entire strategy for disappointment is just going back to sleep. Does knowing the actual biology behind it make the koala nap life even funnier, or does it take away from the joke? Sources: AOL, WWF, A-Z Animals

  @hog_lawyer @SamJSchoenberg @JeremiahDJohns All of that is in Fairfax, next county over. Data centers in Loudoun is largely the legacy of UUNET, AOL, Network Solutions, etc based out of the Dulles Corridor. The density of connectivity and power is self-reinforcing. Big defense contractors are small part of it.

  My playful analogy is we are in the AOL era of AI. Early stage of a revolutionary technology, but the delivery mechanism is still clunky, requiring really dumb concepts like prompt engineering. In 1996, you couldn't even imagine business models like Uber, Netflix, the iPhone, YouTube or Tesla FSD, because the technology wasn't even close to capable or cost effective enough. From 1996-2006 global data volume grew by a factor of 10,000,000x (per Gemini), but that growth was hugely deflationary (wholesale IP transit cost down 99%), i.e. good for the application layer and selectively bad for the pipe owners (telecom). Overall, the mix of massive volume growth offset against gnarly price deflation has been a, net/net, positive thing for telecom investing. Does that hold for the frontier labs? "Intelligence pipe" feels like it can be a pretty damn awesome business, but, like telecoms, the evolution of "intelligence pipe as a business" will be extremely path dependent and will require real business models with attractive unit economics to fund. Obviously most of the 90's era telecoms went bust and the assets were only financially productive for the 2nd or 3rd owners, mostly due to balance sheet issues & the subsequent closing of the capital markets window. Though capital markets have evolved materially since the early 2000's telecom bust with a regulatory environment more supportive of monopolies/oligopolies and private capital markets more supportive of funding massive cash burn (to wit, I think it's a really bad idea for Anthropic to IPO in '26, but what do I know?). So imagine that prior but like 10-100x the size of the internet. Maybe more? As in 1996 when you couldn't even envision Netflix/Uber, the iPhone or Tesla FSD, we have zero idea what 2056 looks like, but the exponential will certainly drive even more upside uncertainty in technology. idk, hard to be structurally bearish on the "intelligence pipe" and subsequently, infrastructure that feeds the pipe (though it feels certain there will be super gnarly potholes, messy shakeouts, and bankruptcies along the way, as we saw in telecom evolution), and ultimately what matters is free cash flow production, which feeds from the intersection of exponential volumes against unit level deflation. What's exciting to me with the improvement in the models, both frontier like Fable/Sol and open source like Kimi/GLM/Deep-Seek, is you are getting *closer* so seeing a real application layer possible in a very intellectually difficult sandbox like public market investing. Nearly four years from GPT 3.5 demo, we still aren't there. We are still in the "AOL era" - too slow, not competent enough, too expensive. But are we exiting that era? It feels to me like we might be. If I had to guess, my guess is the frontier labs continue to be good businesses (and extremely volatile public stocks), mostly due to the reflexive nature of capital markets & talent acquisition. But what seems really obvious, to me, is that 2026-2036 is going to be the era of the application layer, where the Travis Kalanick-style entrepreneur takes this "intelligence pipe" and envisions new & groundbreaking businesses that change the world. That entrepreneurial accelerate will drive durable and accelerating demand for the intelligence pipe, it seems. It's a really exciting time to be alive.

  @ChrisMizTV @CFBDirect Man, i’ve been just playing offline while watching movies and whatever because i don’t dare risk my Dynasty while watching, but it is just sad. The entire mode is slow and clunky. I feel like i’m on AOL in 1996.

  @daniel_koss Current snapshot, maybe undervalued??? Long term...subject to change (eg. Yahoo, AOL, Prodigy, Cisco, Nortel, etc. ) anything can happen. They can 100X or crash....nobody can prognosticate 20 years down the road, but for now make the money get the bag and hedge and pivot IF, (emphasis) IF needed).
