  @MikePeyton55 @honeymoon250 I never did AOL. I'm only 46, but I'm not too young for it. I just never used it. I never had a waterbed, but I have slept on one before. I had no idea that they still existed, though!

  Should we need to pay for email? In 2006, AOL and Yahoo announced priority delivery for senders willing to pay somewhere around a penny per message, with the promise that those messages would bypass the spam filter. The diagnosis behind it was correct. Email often breaks because sending is free, and when volume costs nothing, volume becomes the strategy (hello AI outbound!). Everything built afterward (filters, blocklists, sender reputation scores) is an attempt to patch a problem that is fundamentally about economics, and not about technology. Today, the same dynamic plays out on a much larger surface. AI agents can complete forms, take surveys, open accounts, and browse sites at a scale that would have been unimaginable for a spam operation twenty years ago, and most of that activity still registers in company dashboards as ordinary human demand. What I find most encouraging about Proof of Human is that this doesn't require the previous tradeoff. There's no toll, no puzzle, and nothing for a genuine visitor to notice or solve, because verification runs continuously in the background across the whole session rather than at a single checkpoint. When a decision does get made, there's a record behind it that a team can actually inspect, rather than an opaque score they're asked to trust. The email industry spent two decades learning that you can't tax your way to trust, and that authentication works better than obstruction. That lesson is worth carrying into whatever comes next.

  i stole the AIM passwords of everyone in my highschool and published them on my website (600 accounts) when i was in 9th grade, the school put me in a computer class with seniors cause they didn't know what to do with me. i ended up hired by the school to help with IT i was super immature despite my technical skills and i didn't have anyone around me to recognize / steer me in the right direction. adults often get confused by a kid with high intelligence and assume everything else about the kid must be on their level. well, it isn't i wrote a program and installed it as admin on every pc to extract passwords from aol instant messenger. after a couple weeks i had everyone's password i then published them all on my personal website and called them all dumbasses in the process. zero couth. total cringe. the site went "viral" in the school district and i was fired the next day when i realized the stupidity of what i had done, i was extremely embarrassed. in fact, I'm embarrassed thinking about it now, even 23+ years later. despite that, it was a major learning experience that shaped how i handle the responsibility of personal information thereafter

  @EnableEm @edzitron Just post the short position retard or the worthless puts. I tried to be nice but you can't provide any counter arguments besides repeatedly posting "2% broad customer demand for AI 4yrs post GPT 3.5, internet was 22% 3yrs post AOL CDs". **** off

  @DavidMWeissman @FadeAwayMedia well, his creative didn’t help, but WCW was a huge casualty of the AOL-Time Warner merger.
