  You're prompting frontier AI through the same keyboard layout you used for AOL Instant Messenger. The models got 1000x smarter. The interface didn't move an inch. $5.5M says Aina's building the fix. This is the hardware gap I've been watching for someone to close.

  @whymyPPhurt6969 @PanthersGamer @GhillieYT They will never "pull the license" if u don't break TOS. Even if they cease to exist. U'd still have access. Just like AOL email still exists even though they don't. They just leave your username open. Breaking TOS is what "revocable license" is all about not just when they want.

  I think OpenAI and Anthropic might be the CompuServe and AOL of the AI era. Does anyone actually think Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Oracle, IBM, X/Twitter, and all of the other big tech companies will just allow these 2 badly run startups to capture the AI market? OpenAI and Anthropic don't have a moat or sustainable competitive advantage. To win they have to not only develop a moat but penetrate some of the most fortified moats. Model quality isn't a moat. Kimi, Grok, Deepseek proved that. Inference will become a commodity utility that requires massive CapEx that neither can finance. Interface is where the moat is the weakest. OpenAI and Anthropic do not own the apps or the OS. The OS and apps are owned by parties who view OpenAI or Anthropic as threats. The OS and apps are where AI choice happens. As if that is not grim enough, AI sovereignty will become an issue. Consumers will want their iCloud data to stay in iCloud, their OneDrive data to stay in OneDrive, etc. Enterprise customers will want AI from their cloud providers to reduce egress and for performance + IP reasons. It is honestly hard to imagine a world where OpenAI and Anthropic survive as they are. They will either morph into companies with entirely different value offerings or die like Compuserve and AOL.

  @atelicinvest kind of seems like it’s as simple as: can’t price to marginal utility in a competitive market, you have to price to marginal cost. and every day, it looks more and more like tokens will be a competitive, many-player, non-oligopolistic market. it’s not like AOL ever tried to price their email service based on the cost of sending the same messages via USPS, nor could Yahoo / Google price search based on the equivalent cost of the human labor of looking through microfilm at your local library

  @PeterFonseca They sound terrible-a mix of old bad Nintendo music and AOL dial up noise

  @4thOfJuly365 You know I absolutely hated AOL but I liked the messenger because I could talk to stupid people I knew on that. Other people used icq and even that's out of business. And then there were some MSN people. I don't know what was up with them. I of course used some crazy open source thing that linked all this stuff together. And yeah, there isn't much that really makes this platform. All that special doesn't really do anything unique other than have people on it. I could scale my platform to millions pretty easily but what's missing from my platform is people. That's the real value
