  Before the AI kings, there was another king. His story tells you exactly how AI race ends. In the 90s, AOL was the internet. If you wanted to go online, you went through AOL. Their CDs were in every mailbox in America. At their peak they were worth more than Disney, Ford and Boeing combined. They even bought Time Warner, the biggest media empire on earth, like it was a snack. Then the internet became a utility. It moved to the companies holding the infra, the telecom guys. And AOL's birthright on the internet vanished. The pipe owners made real money, AT&T still makes billions every year, but at utility margins. The crazy money showed up at the application layer in the next decade. Google, Amazon, Netflix. They didn't own the internet. They just paid for it like everyone else and built the best service on top. The bottom layer was open to anyone at a price, so the top layer went to whoever served the customer best. No birthright. Just service. Now let's look at AI. Today the frontier labs stand where AOL stood in the late 90s. They own the models, they own the access, they are the most valuable companies of this era. But intelligence is already becoming a utility with open weights. The model is turning into the pipe, and the pipe will move to whoever hosts it cheapest. Better chips, cheaper power, data centers next to geothermal plants or up in orbit. Good business, real money, but utility margins. And again, the crazy money will show up one layer above, again. Apps built on open intelligence, paying for it like everyone pays for internet, winning because they serve the customer best. Nobody has a birthright there. Not even the labs. They can compete for it, with everyone else at a level playing field. The internet made AOL the king and then made the internet free. AI is about to do the same thing to its kings.

  @bobo103nyc I remember seeing this as a kid back in the AOL days and thinking “surely this is the worst thing I’ll ever see on the internet”

  @RaminNasibov America Online (AOL) Thrust upon us from all angles, for free. Hard to cancel. Free CDs everywhere.

  The only problem I have with X is that I never feel like I’m genuinely talking to people or replying/getting replies from real people. I wish it felt like the old days in AOL chat rooms where it felt like real people surrounded our conversations. It feels all botted and AI now.

  @oelma__ Nope. Not really. I remember when yahoo and msn came along. I had AOL at 2.0. (Can't remember the name of the service before them, but it only lasted 2 hours and cost too much to keep going.)

  @FCBTheo_ @TouchlineX Yes it did. There was a battle for the 4th star. I correctly picked up on energy in the universal hologram 3 years ago in regards to Argentina battling for their 4th star. My error was I used my logical part of brain to fill in the gaps. Since the ego hates ambiguity it filled in the rest by saying since its a battle it must mean Argentina wins. The gateway and stargate which were both used by the CIA to study remote viewing and psychic ability called this AOL (Analytical overlay). I suffered the same error in my march 2024 prediction when I predicted Spain would beat Italy 3-1 in Euro final. A classic example of getting big picture correct but small errors kinda ruin it. In the future I will work on strategies to prevent this so my perception of what I'm seeing is more accurate. @grok is what I'm saying about CIA, Gateway, Stargate in regards to AOL and hypnagogic dream accurate?
