  i don't buy the "ai search replaces Google" thesis. the data says the opposite is happening. Cloudflare Radar, may 2026: every ai chatbot — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity — sends 0.29% of global search referrals. Google sends 87.63%. 301-to-1. Anthropic's ClaudeBot crawls 11,122 pages for every human visit it returns vs Google's 5:1. Alphabet Q1 2026 filing: Google search revenue $60.4B, +19% yoy, up from +17% in Q4. ai overviews hit 2.5B monthly users; ai mode crossed 1B. alphabet says ai overviews monetize at rates "similar to traditional search" (june 2026 investor presentation). the kill-google thesis is showing up as negative signal in the actual p&l. Perplexity — the consensus poster child — killed its entire ad business in feb (Financial Times, The Verge). ads generated $20K against $34M revenue. exec quote: "a user would just start doubting everything." a company that can't make advertising work cannot disrupt a $60B/quarter advertising business. the consensus pusher worth countering specifically — @sarahdingwang at a16z, who led Exa's $250M Series C at $2.2B in may. her line: "agents will search the web more than humans this year. soon orders of magnitudes more." historical analog — Netscape 1994-98. the next platform that would reduce windows to "a poorly debugged set of device drivers." 80% share, record ipo. microsoft bundled IE for free. netscape sold to AOL for scrap. the company that captured the value was the one everyone thought netscape would displace — Google, founded 1998 — the services layer above the commodity. counter-position: ai search isn't replacing Google. Google is becoming ai search. standalone players are fighting netscape's war while the incumbent absorbs the tech into a surface 2.5B people already use. investor read: Exa at $2.2B and Perplexity at $22B are priced for a market-share takeover the referral data says isn't happening. the smarter bet is the layer that monetizes the ai-overview expansion Google is driving.

  I was likening it to banning Usenet, BBS'es, forums, all of which I was on before 16 -- and AOL Instant Messenger which was invented after I was older -- but this is true too. Awful mistake. Though if it gets kids reading more again from boredom, that could be one silver lining.

  @firstadopter The deal makes total sense to me. Arbitrageurs putting deal likelihood above 50% of going through. Can only make sense to compare to AOL X Time Warner if you think one of FOX or Roku has a bad destiny coming. FOX pays about 6% interest on debt.

  Before Broadband, There Was 3Com and U.S. Robotics On June 12, 1997, 3Com completed its $6.6 billion merger with U.S. Robotics, the largest deal the data networking industry had ever seen. At the time, it made obvious sense. 3Com was a major force in Ethernet cards, hubs, switches, and enterprise networking. U.S. Robotics was the great modem brand, helping millions of people get online through phone lines, patience, and that unforgettable dial-up screech that sounded like a fax machine losing an argument. The deal was also a snapshot of the internet before broadband became normal. Offices were being wired with Ethernet. Homes were dialing into the web. Remote workers connected through access servers. Getting online was still something you did deliberately, not something that surrounded you. U.S. Robotics was in the middle of the 56K modem wars, pushing its x2 technology against the Rockwell and Lucent K56flex camp before the V.90 standard settled the fight in 1998. Line quality, compression, compatibility, and a few extra kilobits decided whether the web felt useful or miserable. 3Com brought the LAN side. Ethernet cards in PCs. Hubs and switches in offices. Networks that turned standalone computers into connected organizations. Cisco was becoming the giant in the room, and the market was shifting from selling components to controlling the connectivity stack. The two halves of the deal aged very differently. The modem business was massive, then faded fast as dial-up gave way to cable, DSL, Wi-Fi, fiber, and mobile data. U.S. Robotics became a nostalgia trigger for anyone who remembers waiting for AOL to connect. Ethernet never went away. It moved from office LANs into data centers, carrier networks, industrial systems, cloud infrastructure, cars, and now AI clusters. Speeds, cables, and workloads all changed, and the core idea kept scaling. That is rare in tech. Most technologies age into museums. Ethernet aged into the backbone. Its future still looks strong, because AI data centers, cloud platforms, telecom networks, and edge computing all need more bandwidth, lower latency, and cheaper scale. The merger itself did not age as well. Dial-up was already on borrowed time. Palm, which came along with U.S. Robotics, was spun off in 2000 and briefly worth more than its parent. By that same year, 3Com had spun U.S. Robotics back out as an independent company. The biggest networking merger in history unwound in three years. Still, the deal marks a real turning point. Before broadband, before Wi-Fi everywhere, before smartphones and cloud and AI factories, the internet had to be stitched together one modem, one Ethernet card, and one phone line at a time. For a brief moment, 3Com and U.S. Robotics sat at the center of that transition.

  Different decade, same math: half the S&P 500 is priced at levels that a dot-com CEO called proof of investor insanity while watching his company crater 90%. The rotation at the top: In early 2000, the ten most valuable S&P 500 companies read like a monument to permanent dominance: Microsoft, General Electric, Cisco, Walmart, ExxonMobil, Intel, Lucent, IBM, Citigroup, AOL. A generation later, only Microsoft remains. GE was carved into three separate companies. Lucent was absorbed by Nokia. AOL became the cautionary tale attached to the worst merger in corporate history. Cisco and Intel spent 25 years climbing back to their dot-com peaks. Citigroup, IBM, Walmart, and ExxonMobil still exist, but none crack the top ten. The new top ten is Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and the AI infrastructure complex. Investors in 2000 were also certain they were buying the future's permanent giants. The data says most of today's winners won't be in the top ten a generation from now either, and there is no mechanism by which you find out which ones survive in advance. The valuation problem: In 2002, after Sun Microsystems collapsed 90%, CEO Scott McNealy explained to investors exactly what a 10x sales multiple actually demands: 100% of revenues paid as dividends for ten consecutive years, with zero costs, zero R&D, zero taxes, and zero employees. He was describing the math of the price investors had paid for his stock as a form of collective psychosis. Today, 51% of the S&P 500 by market cap trades above 10x sales. Half the index. The AI narrative is functioning as the dot-com narrative functioned: a story compelling enough to make the math feel optional. The math has never been optional.

  @ryanpcrypto @thatsKAIZEN AOL didn’t conduct the poll, they reported it. My bad for not explaining that. You are MAGA after all.

  @SouthDallasFood Like "we" had on Myspace? You actually ADMIT publicly that you wasted your time on that terrible social platform that didn't work? What was your first move, AOL dial-up? Ha ha ha ha!
