  @Kngsolo305 I was late Gen X. I definitely got a bug dose of video games and AOL hit me hard right after high school. I remember being grounded from going outside and having to stay in my room. It was horrible. Now, kids are punished by NOT being allowed to sit in their rooms. So much has changed.

  @thepeacepoet99 Throughout the 80's we'd been told nuclear war was imminent. Literally thought the world was going to end -- then the Soviet Union Collapsed and the western world celebrated! We were full of hope and optimism for a future without the threat of global annihilation. Glam metal morphed into grunge, Goatees for all the men, and flannel on everyone. And weirdly biker shorts, plus ***** packs, doo rags, but also the rise of widely popular rap. Gen X were becoming adult -- much to our non-irradiated surprise. We'd gone from life is hopeless and pointless to life is going to continue so... now what? And what's this internet thing? The internet was inhabited by a select few who kind of had to know stuff until AOL started mailing everyone CDs to give your damn mom access. But still there was no social media -- instead spaces were organized by interests. Which allowed for communal gatekeeping, in a good way. If someone was just trolling the whole Collectable Card Game forum (for example) would boot them off. It wasn't toxic like now. (And there was still a decent chance any Keyboard Warrior would have to confront their victims IRL -- so people were just more chill).

  Such a weird time discussing AI with anyone who isn't super in the weeds right now. 99.9% of people who have been exposed to AI only know "chat", which in my experience is the worst current use case for AI (can be inaccurate, biased, too sycophantic, etc). Meanwhile, the 0.1% actually building **** (be it apps, businesses, websites, dashboards, slide decks, business plans, etc) or using it to help organize your life (translating "stream of consciousness" into readable notes, managing your inbox/calendar, creating a second-brain wiki from links, etc) is seeing where this is all going. Big difference is that the user (YOU!) have direct input on the outputs, whereas chat is just the delusion that you are getting correct answers from some digital deity (just a text version of brain rot, imo). It makes having conversations super weird, like explaining the potential of the internet to someone who only logged on to AOL to read/send email.

  @alphafox I actually do. I used to build computers back then. I loved DOS the way it was. I went to Windows 3.1. I was doing tech support for USPS shipping software back when we did the switch to 95. People don't understand BB boards and what the internet actually looked like before we had Internet Exploder ( not a type O), Netscape, AOL, etc

  @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.

  @cheesecakefd I've done this thru forums and Yahoo and AOL back in the day, but never really connected all he way with anyone on the new advertisement-funded social media. Oh well.

  @NobleOne I don't touch AI anything. I grew up on books and actually retaining knowledge. I was 20 in 94 when people were starting to use dial up on AOL. **** AI.
