  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.

  @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.

  @Gzalzi @chaakravue I have been on the internet since AOL. That was not rage bait. He genuinely is just an idiot.

  This pro-PRC model industry group from Silicon Valley is interesting but I think not thinking long-term. Why can’t the frontier labs do something like AOL did with its Greenhouse project and say OK, I will let you distill but we want equity in your company and/or a fee. AOL got equity for promotion/placement on the screen. (we committed 30+ million at MarketWatch, helped traffic and the ipo a lot, but worst company I have ever negotiated with). Anyway, apologies for the digression, but why couldn’t this be similar but for distillation access, and the labs like Anthropic and OpenAI could end up with a really interesting portfolio of companies, some of which might become quite valuable, and those smaller firms’ VCs could also benefit? Otherwise, does it really make sense for a huge swathe of the American technology industry to end up dependent on PRC models? Haven’t we learned any lessons from other industries where PRC firms have been able to come in at a very low cost with good products and effectively create dependencies that crowd at all other competitors? And now we are talking about the most transformative industry in many years, and it could be even worse if it’s built in part through some problematic practices in terms of distillation attacks and export control violations, if some of US government’s and frontier labs’ claims are true?

  Uh oh … this is even BEFORE his massive Data Center hauls 💰 CHARACTER should matter to voters , not what letter is next to their name The Trades Byron Donalds Didn't Want You to See Byron Donalds spent years on television lecturing Congress about insider trading. Then the record caught up with him. Between 2022 and 2023, Donalds and his spouse made over 100 stock trades valued up to $1.6 million without filing the periodic transaction reports required by the STOCK Act. Campaign Legal CenterCampaign Legal Center The number, precisely, was at least 108 trades in dozens of companies, ranging in total value from $108,108 to $1,620,000. Campaign Legal Center HE DIDN'T DISCLOSE THEM IN REAL TIME. The trades only surfaced in annual filings submitted in August 2023 and August 2024 — more than a year after most of the transactions occurred. That delay isn't a technicality. The STOCK Act exists so voters can watch for conflicts of interest as they happen, not a year later. And the timing here raises real questions. Donalds sits on the House Financial Services Committee, and some of his trades were in companies that committee oversees, including Elevance Health and JPMorgan Chase. In September 2024, the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center filed a formal ethics complaint asking the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate. CLC argued that because Donalds understood the STOCK Act's requirements better than most lawmakers, there's reason to believe the omissions weren't accidental. AOL The irony is hard to miss. This is a man who once appeared on television demanding sanctions against members of Congress who violate the STOCK Act. Florida Bulldog He said the House "has to get real." Now he's the case study. As of mid-2026, Donalds has said publicly that he doesn't personally trade securities but uses a broker with trading authority, and that he supports banning direct trading by members while allowing third-party financial professionals to trade on their behalf. (PolitiFact That's a defense worth weighing on its merits. It doesn't erase the 108 undisclosed trades or the year-long gap in reporting. Voters can decide what that pattern says about judgment — but they deserve to know it happened before they decide who leads the state next. 🎇We have a real chance to shift our leadership expectations.

  @JoelKatz @RealZaikTorek @Awk20000 Not to mention the very first big section 230 case was about AOL and them being too slow to censor a malicious troll who was spreading confirmed lies that led to harassment. So even if the argument is "the website didn't censor this" then that's a core Section 230 argument.

  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, and they can complicate things very easily. 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.
