  @DomainDegen @oelma__ I never had a check book nor an AOL address. But I have laid down in a water bed so I count that one. 😸

  Plausible paths for Google: 1. They will also start falling behind in TPU design. TPUs will cease to even notionally be a realistic competitor to big players. Maybe they'll sell the IP and TSMC allocation to OpenAI or Anthropic or AMD, or spin it out into an underresourced separate entity. 2. GCP will do very well for a time. Existing LLM inference capacity is going to get more valuable over time, commanding higher prices. At some point, they'll be left with second-rate hardware that's been dramatically outcompeted by ultra-efficient RSI hardware and data centers. It's not inconceivable that their TPUs will literally have the HBM chips pried off of them to put into better hardware by a competitor. 3. Search will have gone from merely declining in usage to declining rapidly in revenue. This will continue for some time as a viable business, like AOL, Juno and yahoo, but with a shrinking user base of aging retirees or barely-online people. They will embrace every dark pattern in the book to adsmaxx, but their core "indexing and understanding all the world's information" will have long since been done much better by model companies. 4. They'll probably release a quite good Gemini or two from inertia this year. Not necessarily SOTA, but good enough to cause a stock rally. This is probably the last place for someone like Sergei Brin to assert control and save the company. 5. Eventually the massive amount of debt taken on building GCP and getting returned as buybacks will catch up with them after a credit downgrade. They'll get ripped apart for scraps at the org level, with stakes in various AI companies constituting most of their value, like yahoo! did with alibaba. Sundar Pichai will walk away enormously wealthy having maximized ******** out of some shareholder value.

  @KieranWrites $$$ and the fact YouTube still gets more content uploaded in 10 mins than you can watch in a year means it's pretty much impossible to compete. The real issue is DMCA is from 1999. Internet has changed from the AOL free Internet disc days.

  @qaggnews @ColonelTowner @MarkEDeschaine True, back then the community was a lot smaller and better connected in a way, it was just us computer geeks, after all, just getting connected to the internet was difficult until Aol and Bix. I helped bring cable modems and digital set top boxes to the public but that wasn't until mid 90s. Before then, a fast connection was a 44.1Mb T3 at work, or a blazing 128kb from home, you could with some trouble get a T1... A fast CPU ran faster than 2MHz... (not GHz) The fastest link, mid 80s the Boston globe could get going from one side of town to the other was a T2 microwave link, 6Mb, so until Bill Gates started selling pc's to anyone, it was a close and honest community, not without the odd ones, but anti social was the 'uunet' red line I guess. How long did the gets() vulnerability remain unexploited? Years. People didn't break into other systems as a usual thing. That was 40 years ago though and things just aren't the same. The Arduino crowd strikes me as having some of the hobbyist sort of enthusiasm you'd see back then.

  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.
