  I said it again and again and again: the current LLMs are equivalent to the dialup of dotcom era. Back then we were effectively paying a software license for AOL. Today, the idea of paying to use the Internet is absolutely absurd. My gut tells me there’s a place for the frontier models. But I don’t see it being in the hands of every consumer when the technology is essentially a commodity. I think the frontier models have a legitimate business that’s going to be much smaller than the market currently prices them at. I also see people totally misunderstand the value proposition for AI. Neither OpenAI nor Anthropic are needed to sustain the AI boom. At worst there’s an air gap. Doesn’t matter if it’s open source or not—same compute is needed. And if the models aren’t as good, then ChatGPT and Claude are needed.

  Trans Atlantic flights go from **** to entertainment hubs. From dial up aol to isdn to cable to satalites. From a phone on the kitchen wall to cordless to bulky to flip to IPhone pc in your pocket

  @babybeginner @Scada_Hacker There is a problem with your Bruiser logic. This was Ladybird, formerly know as Damsel, formerly known as cat with cat shaped markings.. Ear tipped, but shouldn’t have been TNRED. She wasn’t feral, probably never was but she had the tipped ear of a tnred cat, and I swear I once saw her on AOL as a cat with interesting markings, yet I found her dumped in a Walmart parking lot, late winter on a cold drizzly morning. How this chunky lady ended up under a car, begging for help is probably something I will never know, but once I was able to pick her up, she was that heavy.. I put her in my cargo van so that she was out of the drizzle.. I ended up taking her home with me that cold not friendly cat morning and she lived with me for at least 8 years. I didn’t get a scanner, I probably should’ve gotten one by now, but those microchips have been known to travel Ladybird lived a long not always beautiful life but it was a long one. I picked her up in 2012 and she lived into the 2020’s and was pretty Active up until the last few weeks of her life. She passed quietly next to me in our bed.

  This makes me really sad because AX used to kick complete *** I loved it so much. I started going when I was in my mid-teens, one time I hung out with a bunch of the cast of 03 FMA because of an AOL fan chat they'd come and groupwatch the new episodes with us in, Mike McFarland bought us lunch because my friend was rude and thought we weren't paying....

  The weirdest AI-era market signal today was not a model launch. It was Wall Street cheering AOL’s new parent. Bending Spoons, the Italian roll-up behind AOL, Vimeo, Eventbrite and other “old internet” brands, ripped on its first trading day. Shares were up as much as 52% and closed about 40% above the IPO price, according to WSJ coverage. That matters because this was supposed to be the era where only frontier AI labs and zero-to-one startups get rewarded. But public markets are sending a different message: if AI makes software cheaper to build, then existing distribution gets more valuable, not less. Users, billing relationships, search traffic, archives, brand memory, and neglected products with real audiences suddenly look like underpriced assets. The winners may not just be the companies inventing new AI tools. They may also be the operators buying tired digital properties and rebuilding them with AI, automation, and brutal cost discipline. Watch for more money to chase AI-enabled roll-ups, not just AI-native apps. The next big tech winners might look less like inventors and more like private-equity-style owners of forgotten internet real estate. Is this just an IPO pop, or the first real sign that AI rewards ownership and distribution more than novelty?

  @ericbrownzzz I don't know if this was intended, but I like the linkage b/w Online America and AoL (A.rchers o.f L.oaf and America Online; an internet service from when Archers were active). AoL: Web in front. But in back of web, some chat rooms with three people in them.

  @Terry_Hendrix I am too young for BBS (seriously). I tried it once when I was 12 and on an AOL trial but never got anywhere.
