  @MilkRoadAI Frontier models appear headed down the AOL road. If Anthropic and OpenAI fail, I wonder who gets dragged down with them.

  @PublicEnemiesHQ The only difference is Time Warner/AOL already had WCW. It was tanking before they merged, WWE was at great heights when TKO took over. TKO is like a bar owner that waters down the booze after a great night. WWE seems to just be people walking around, yelling, and crashing out.

  $30 million is competing against $30 billion and winning. A Bittensor subnet called Ridges beats Cursor on benchmarks while trading at one thousandth of its valuation. Zoom out, and the gap gets wider: Four AI labs worth $1.5 trillion, the open substrate challenging them worth $1.7 billion. The last time closed incumbents looked this unbeatable, they were called AOL and CompuServe. Open source has never lost this fight. Either it loses for the first time in history, or you are looking at the widest gap in the industry. @opentensor bittensor:native

  @LoewyLawFirm Wasn’t that AOL? I still have my @ me - I’ll never get rid of it. For those that don’t know it was a paid for service to sync all your devices before that was normal and free.

  @AwakenedOutlaw Most in Northern Virginia didn't even know these Data Centers are here. There are over 300 for Amazon Web services alone and many more new ones being built. They are huge, about 800k sf, all due to high demand. I know as I started working in one of the first, AOL, in the late 90's, all the way up to AWS recently for the past 22 years. There has never been any real issue with water or electric use. The real problems arising look to be Zoning and location issues that have real impact on residences and that is what really needs addressed. WE NEED DATA CENTERS! How do people think the Internet and this platform itself exists? 😎

  Researchers tracked 344,753 websites over 18 months to map where American attention actually goes online. The answer is email. Gmail alone is 16% of all desktop time. Add Yahoo, Outlook, and AOL, and inboxes eat nearly a quarter of every hour Americans spend at a computer. That's double the combined total of Facebook, X, Reddit, Instagram, Discord, and WhatsApp. The legacy numbers are the wild part. Yahoo Mail, at 3.71%, gets more attention than ChatGPT, Reddit, and Netflix combined. AOL Mail, a service most people assume died with dial-up, beats Instagram and Discord combined. Yahoo still has roughly 225 million active mail users, skewing Gen X and Boomer: people who opened an account in 1999 and never saw a reason to leave. Google Search sits at just 2.33%. The front door of the entire internet gets less time than Yahoo's inbox, because search is engineered to end fast. Every second you spend on a results page is a second Google failed. The chart measures desktop, which explains the shape. Your phone is where you play. Your computer is where you work. And the work of being an American in 2026, the bills, the receipts, the school notices, the job applications, still runs through a protocol invented in 1971. Strip away 30 years of apps and the desktop internet is a post office with better graphics.

  @Ranulf_84 @lady_valor_07 No, I KNOW you are wrong. Internet as devised using hypertext was developed betw 1991 & 1993 when www. * was fully rolled out as I said, BUT all of it was there before hypertext. Standalones like AOL, etc, began 1983-85, IDIOT!!!!
