  @JeremiahDJohns I had to pay my parents so much money for going over my 5 hours a month. Damn AOL chat rooms were addictive in HS!

  I haven’t been buying the "SaaSpocalypse," but Q1’s nosediving SaaS valuations gave me pause. After a week in SF last month sampling the AI zeitgeist, I have a better feel for where the software sector is heading. It’s the SaaS-to-inference transition, and it’s good. My long-standing view has been that AI is a net positive for the software industry. It radically raises the ceiling for what software products can do. It should dramatically expand the market opportunity for software, just like the on-prem-to-cloud transition did back in the day. Yet many have been freaking out. After all, haven’t SaaS switching costs come down dramatically in SaaS, threatening one of the pillars of the business model? Yes, there’s no doubt that the “cement around the ankles” of legacy SaaS has weakened. At the same time, most legacy SaaS companies have barely scratched the surface of AI innovation while maintaining their historically high retention. This is how it played out in the last major transition: on-prem-to-cloud. Many legacy players (pathetically) ignored cloud innovation for 5-10 years (or longer) and still kept their customers. It turns out that technology is stickier than most in the tech industry believe. Take a look at Bending Spoons, which IPO’d off the back of buying crappy legacy products and jacking up prices because users didn’t want to give up their AOL email or Evernote notes. Tech industry people are not like this. They tend to be part of the very small minority of early adopters. Most people aren’t like this. Neither are most organizations. Legacy software isn’t going to disappear. But if pre-AI software companies don’t embrace AI innovation, their customers will be much less forgiving than on-prem customers 10-20 years ago. AI capabilities are too potent and obviously beneficial. What does embracing AI innovation look like? It means layering intelligent actions into all software. Historically, great software has helped users follow the right workflow. Now, great software must do the workflow by triggering agents to take actions. In other words, inference. The great news for everyone is that this opens the door to consumption-based pricing models that can scale exponentially. For legacy players and startups alike, delivering amazing AI-powered, agentic features is the way to get on the vertical-growth train. Remarkably, the door is still open for legacy players. Intercom’s 3.6b exit to Salesforce is a great example. Of course, new pricing models mean new margin structures. Just as SaaS had lower gross margins than legacy on-prem, expect consumption-priced inference to have lower gross margins. This is OK! We’ve already seen massive wins for inference-selling startups with negative gross margins, like Cursor. Legacy SaaS companies need to find religion on this. Dropping margins is never easy. Lock up the finance team if you have to. The priority is delivering AI-powered value for customers. Everything else is just details.

  Hey @AOL You want to charge $70 to get back someone's account that has been hacked. And you're customer service is horrendous as well.

  @tylerblack32 @jaypo1961 It’s like the Bat Signal, doc. The message goes out on the MAGA idiot network and all the little MAGATS get their talking points downloaded to their AOL accounts.

  @KrisPatel99 Nothing. It's desperation as they lose valuable advertising $ from teens no longer using the service. The age of fake ai may be the new turn just like how AOL and Myspace once ruled

  Mel misses the point, perhaps even by sincere error. It's not nostalgia for limited programs. I'm sure there are some people who want to go back to AOL, but that's not the point. It's that we have come to recognize that being parked in front of a screen for most of the day is bad for even an adult, much less a child. So many of us are nostalgic for a day when we weren't online all the time. Personally, I'm also old enough to remember when I was called socially deficient for reading all the time, just because my books were more interesting than my peers. I was in eighth grade before I found friends who liked even some of what I enjoyed. Being online isn't automatically bad, but if you don't exercise self-control you'll find it controls you. That's being terminally online -- when it defines you, more than anything else.

  Hear me out... what if all the bad **** that's ever happened to you started when you didn't forward that chain letter you got in your AOL email in 1998?
