  Wow surprisingly tone deaf post from an @openai top executive. Feels like AOL or Compuserve arguing about how dangerous and bad for innovation an open internet would be. Permissionless innovation. That’s what open weight models offer.

  I kinda wish I new what my AOL password was because I never use the website before and some reason my step dad use that app to create my Facebook

  @RE420 Listen. AOL chat rooms on dial up internet. My tribe. I’ve worked in the school system here with middle schoolers no less. I’ve seen it first hand, had to do investigations on kids phones because of **** they did and Said on social media. It’s **** naw for me.

  @soapweb3 AI AOL dial up service. Yahoo was king and My Space was getting replaced by Facebook. I joined in 2010. This IBM PC Jr. Was around when I was in college learning to code In 88, 89. And you could choose the contrast yoouuu wanted and green was a less desirable choice.

  @FullMetalTrav I was the architect of the AOL help page deployment on the vendor side for 10 or so years. I optimized and redeployed the entire stack more than one time. It took around 52 servers to handle the traffic spikes and was split between 2 data centers w/ failover.

  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, and they can complicate things very easily. 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.

  If Netflix won, I would still oppose it. I tend to not be a fan of these media mergers. AOL TimeWarner should have not been allowed. Microsoft getting Activision Blizzard was a bad idea. SkyDance getting Paramount? Horrible. Disney getting 20CF? Stupid. Now, the 2006 Disney-Pixar merger I do side with. Disney getting Marvel and Lucasfilm? Wish the smaller 20CF got both of those companies.

  @HealthRanger Frontier models are marching down the AOL path. Let’s just hope they don’t drag too many down with them.

  The crazy part about having dial-up internet was we had to add an extra ~20 minutes to our time of arrival because we had to turn on the computer, open the AOL app, sign in, and then wait for that long dial-up tone before going to the MapQuest site to write down directions.
