  @Matt_Pinner 18 as never had a water bed or slept on one and never had an aol email address.

  @Vocado114 I've had loads of Discord accounts and have never seen this before, no clue what to suggest with that. Are you signing up with multiple different emails from the same provider (eg. multiple which are aol)? That's all I can think of

  PortSwigger reveals new CSS attack chains breaking webmail defenses to steal passwords and tokens. The techniques compromise major platforms including Microsoft Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail. One Outlook and Firefox attack chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen to capture typed passwords in real-time. A Yahoo and AOL vulnerability allows attackers to reconstruct a 12-character Medium login token to hijack accounts. The research remains strictly proof-of-concept with no active malicious exploitation reported as of August 8. Security teams can't keep relying on sanitizers to block CSS when browsers and AI assistants inherently trust the interface context.

  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.

  Fun fact: My computer was so close to being able to not run the original EQ well that if I had anything else running, it would stutter and freeze up. When I had to use AOL for about 2 months, this was a problem because the AOL client had to be running and made EQ stutter.

  @QueenHasSpoken_ @idpicciotto @VividProwess Yes, AOL message boards existed. Nobody said the Internet didn’t. The point is that comparing the fragmented online forums of 2001 to today’s algorithmic mass social media ecosystem is absurd. And “I was online and don’t remember seeing criticism of Bush” still isn’t evidence that criticism didn’t exist. Your AOL login wasn’t a representative sample of American public opinion.
