  Now my @yahoo account never once has stated that I’m outta storage nor asked me to purchase extra data. And that’s the first account I’ve had since @aol and that was after you got that blue cd from Walmart to get a trial period on the internet.

  OpenAI Is Forecasting Something That Has Never Happened in 75 Years of Market History Morgan Stanley's Mauboussin studied every 5-year sales growth run for US public companies since 1950. Nearly 19,300 firm-period observations. Fastest ever: AOL at 103% CAGR, and even that was a merger artifact with Time Warner. OpenAI's projection: $13.1bn (2025) → $284bn (2030). An 85% CAGR from a base no company that size has ever compounded from. The earlier $184bn-by-2029 forecast implied 118%. The mean 5-year nominal CAGR in the data: 6.9%, with 11.1% standard deviation. OpenAI's forecast sits 9 to 10 standard deviations out. Mauboussin's caveat is fair, base rates are dynamic and the past doesn't make it impossible. But it would be the single greatest growth achievement in the history of public markets. Price it accordingly. Base Rates of Nominal and Real 5-Year Sales Growth for Firms With $2-5 Billion in Sales, 1950-2025

  @POTFES This is not accurate. The DMA, DSA, AI Act, and similar frameworks are not examples of member states forcing Brussels to overregulate. They are EU level regulatory projects, proposed, negotiated, adopted, and enforced through the EU institutional system. Member states are part of that machine, but pretending the problem is only national fragmentation conveniently ignores what Brussels itself is doing. And yes, a deeper internal market would be useful. Easier company formation, better access to capital, lower compliance costs, cheaper energy, and less fragmentation would help. But that is not the same as giving the Commission more power to micromanage technology. If American tech dominates, Europe should compete by building better products on honest market terms, not by regulating superior foreign companies and hoping European champions appear afterward. Markets are not static. IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Nokia, BlackBerry, Yahoo, AOL, MySpace, and many others once looked dominant in their own domains. They were challenged, displaced, or diminished because better technologies, better products, and better business models emerged. That is how real competition works. Innovation comes from builders, capital, talent, risk, and consumer choice. It does not come from Brussels officials deciding how platforms should be designed.

  @ThatJohnJones Compuserve - there's a blast from the past! My first personal computing experience was a Viglen Genie circa 1990 My first personal internet connection was AOL - which I installed via a disc sent in the post Censorship was zero & the internet was amazing, if infuriatingly slow

  AOL had 30M users, and the internet locked down. Then the open web ate it. Anthropic and OpenAI are playing AOL right now. The Fable 5 rug pull just showed every enterprise exactly what it looks like to depend on closed AI. The off switch exists. Someone else holds it. Llama, Mistral, Qwen - they're not "almost as good" anymore. For most enterprise workloads, they're good enough. And they run on your own hardware. Apple MLX + NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops + rapidly improving open weights = the mainframe-to-PC transition, happening in real time. Open-source AI will do to Frontier Labs what the open internet did to AOL. History doesn't always repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes. The only question is how long you keep building on someone else's infrastructure before you start owning yours.

  Here's what happens next now that Warner Bros and Paramount are one company. In 6 months: Max and paramount + merge into a single platform. Subscribers get one app. Thousnads of employees get layoffs. The combined $57 billion debt starts driving every content decision. In 12 months: CNN gets sold or spun off. It has been on the table for years. The new company cannot afford to carry a struggling news network alongside a streaming war. In 2 years: The merged studio approaches Apple, Amazon, or a sovereign wealth fund for a capital injection. $57 billion in debt with streaming losses doesn't sustain itself. In 5 years: This merger either saves Hollywood's legacy studios or becomes the AOL Time Warner of the 2020s. There is no middle outcome.

  @Aubrey_Senyolo @DiscussingFilm Every giant corporation that has purchased WB since AOL has seen it become a huge pain for their businesses. Will Skydance be taken down too?
