  @qlypai For @twigl_it I don't think of it as a wrapper around a frontier model, but I guess you could say that. In my view, all frontier models will follow the path of AOL. It's moving rapidly along the same trajectory. AOL mail, chat were all massively popular; AOL's valuation went to the moon, etc. But then dedicated tools came in, and against the single focus, AOL couldn't compete. Once SpaceX launches space-based datacenters along with Starlink, the game will be up. My bet is that the harness is where the value is at. I have really zero loyalty to a particular model; I just want the highest raw intelligence with the ability to throttle down for work that doesn't need it. It's not even clear to me what Anthropic or OpenAI think is actually going to happen. I am sure they can see from their own metrics that like 95% of users are just using it as a glorified search engine. The mass does not care at all about the companies and will use whatever is best and free (i.e., ad-supported). In the long run, Google will likely win. So a true wrapper, like simply putting the API with a bit of context, will become irrelevant to higher levels of intelligence, but I don't think the frontier models can ever win against a superior harness on a really specific proprietary data pool. I am betting that people would rather have more control over their own data, be able to better direct context, and be able to use the best-performing self-healing skills with tools with the most intelligent model that is out there.

  @blind_via I love that you can tell immediately exactly who this data is from and how they got it. Incredibly obvious by AOL Mail being the same amount of time as Twitter, this is boomers who click yes on every single pop-up they are given and were served a pop up on some scammy site or an email to "help with a brief survey" that led them to install the browser extension they used to get this data. Literally no one else would intentionally install a browser extension to track how they use their computer.

  @BuzzPatterson Don't ever try and cancel it! It's worse than trying to cancel your AOL account!! We had to lock the card we used because even tho we cancelled it, and they confirmed it... They still kept trying to charge us

  @bobo103nyc I remember seeing this as a kid back in the AOL days and thinking “surely this is the worst thing I’ll ever see on the internet”

  @neglbaren @freedom_007__ If you know horses all you need to do is look at the horses. William has light hands and his horses are soft. Harry’s are a knot of tension as he rips their mouths and slams his spurs in them. First hand knowledge here. I will never forget him ripping on those horses. He is a horrible human. Too bad old AOL message boards are gone there were a bunch of us who volunteered and we all were appalled.

  @MFruitninja @Motheo37001950 I’ve been on the internet since I was 12/13. AOL Teen Chat, etc being an only child I wanted connect with my peers at home. It was very wholesome for me. Never engaged with anyone other than my age mates.
