  19/ Doesn’t that look a little like an AOL–Time Warner merger that never quite made it to the actual merger stage? An old-world giant placing a massive bet on a new-world leader in an attempt to inject new life into its own empire. Does that script sound a little familiar? Of course, history doesn’t simply repeat itself. Microsoft today understands technology far better than Time Warner did back then. And AI may have even greater potential than the internet ever did. The internet bubble eventually burst. But the internet itself survived and went on to fundamentally transform the world. So the real question today isn’t: Does AI have value? Of course it does. The real question is: Can the value of AI actually justify the insane prices, the enormous investments, and the expectations being placed on it today? And if it can’t, what happens when the bubble bursts? The answer may be hidden inside a question that very few people have seriously stopped to calculate: How much money is AI actually burning?

  @theswansjr HTTP protocol isn't "open network", its actually a very controlled network Blockchain = internet Bitcoin = AOL

  Koalas already sleep 18 to 20 hours a day just to survive on a diet of tough, low-calorie eucalyptus leaves, so during breeding season, when males travel across territory and call repeatedly searching for a mate, that search comes at a real energy cost. If success doesn't come quickly, researchers have observed both males and females essentially cut their losses, males quiet down and stop searching, while females retreat to familiar trees and reduce movement to lower stress and conserve energy. It's less about giving up out of frustration and more about biology forcing a hard limit, koalas run on such a strict energy budget that continuing to search nonstop could actually drain the reserves they need just to stay healthy for the next breeding opportunity. Later in the season, once energy reserves stabilize, males often pick the calls back up again. There's something oddly relatable about an animal whose entire strategy for disappointment is just going back to sleep. Does knowing the actual biology behind it make the koala nap life even funnier, or does it take away from the joke? Sources: AOL, WWF, A-Z Animals

  @xinspiteofx There has never been one message. If there was, there wouldnt be nearly 50 years of people making sounds about unity. Defining fakes now is worse than the dial aol days. Anyone with the internet is a hc influencer. So define hardcore before going forward with anything else.

  @pennyelizabeths I've been online since before people had heard of AOL. I've seen the technology advance. Mass gov surveillance is always a threat has never relied on any one technology, how Flock works and is used is a threat to civil rights and data centers, which long preceded it, are not.

  My playful analogy is we are in the AOL era of AI. Early stage of a revolutionary technology, but the delivery mechanism is still clunky, requiring really dumb concepts like prompt engineering. In 1996, you couldn't even imagine business models like Uber, Netflix, the iPhone, YouTube or Tesla FSD, because the technology wasn't even close to capable or cost effective enough. From 1996-2006 global data volume grew by a factor of 10,000,000x (per Gemini), but that growth was hugely deflationary (wholesale IP transit cost down 99%), i.e. good for the application layer and selectively bad for the pipe owners (telecom). Overall, the mix of massive volume growth offset against gnarly price deflation has been a, net/net, positive thing for telecom investing. Does that hold for the frontier labs? "Intelligence pipe" feels like it can be a pretty damn awesome business, but, like telecoms, the evolution of "intelligence pipe as a business" will be extremely path dependent and will require real business models with attractive unit economics to fund. Obviously most of the 90's era telecoms went bust and the assets were only financially productive for the 2nd or 3rd owners, mostly due to balance sheet issues & the subsequent closing of the capital markets window. Though capital markets have evolved materially since the early 2000's telecom bust with a regulatory environment more supportive of monopolies/oligopolies and private capital markets more supportive of funding massive cash burn (to wit, I think it's a really bad idea for Anthropic to IPO in '26, but what do I know?). So imagine that prior but like 10-100x the size of the internet. Maybe more? As in 1996 when you couldn't even envision Netflix/Uber, the iPhone or Tesla FSD, we have zero idea what 2056 looks like, but the exponential will certainly drive even more upside uncertainty in technology. idk, hard to be structurally bearish on the "intelligence pipe" and subsequently, infrastructure that feeds the pipe (though it feels certain there will be super gnarly potholes, messy shakeouts, and bankruptcies along the way, as we saw in telecom evolution), and ultimately what matters is free cash flow production, which feeds from the intersection of exponential volumes against unit level deflation. What's exciting to me with the improvement in the models, both frontier like Fable/Sol and open source like Kimi/GLM/Deep-Seek, is you are getting *closer* so seeing a real application layer possible in a very intellectually difficult sandbox like public market investing. Nearly four years from GPT 3.5 demo, we still aren't there. We are still in the "AOL era" - too slow, not competent enough, too expensive. But are we exiting that era? It feels to me like we might be. If I had to guess, my guess is the frontier labs continue to be good businesses (and extremely volatile public stocks), mostly due to the reflexive nature of capital markets & talent acquisition. But what seems really obvious, to me, is that 2026-2036 is going to be the era of the application layer, where the Travis Kalanick-style entrepreneur takes this "intelligence pipe" and envisions new & groundbreaking businesses that change the world. That entrepreneurial accelerate will drive durable and accelerating demand for the intelligence pipe, it seems. It's a really exciting time to be alive.

  @BostonBridget .@AOL is 36 now; even if she chose to thaw out a few, and have them fertilized and implanted, how old would she be when she had her first pregnancy? Every extra year increases the odds for a bad pregnancy and disabled child. @JillFilipovic
