  For the desperate, diluted and delusional among both sides. Below is the latest News track on the Charlie Kirk debate reach. Dismal reporting, to say the least, which means claiming (by either side) “The Debate” had far reaching affects is factually ****; do do, crap, one massive dung heap, a crock of **** to be more visceral. ...Read it and weep (or, LYAO)! August 14, 2026: Immediately after ZERO coverage August 15, 2026: - Hollywood Life “Candace Owens vs. Andrew Wilson: What Happened at the Debate” - The Bulwark "The Charlie Kirk Murder Business Gets Its Crassest Spectacle Yet" - AOL "Owens 3/10 no evidence-based positions at all" - The Times of India “Candace Owens vs. Andrew Wilson: Inside the Firery Debate Over Charlie Kirk’s Murder...” - Hindustan Times "Who is Andrew Wilson? Did Candace Owens win the debate? 5 key takeaways as duo spars over Charlie Kirk" August 16, 2026: - Townhall “The Great Debate: A Logical Analysis of Candace Owens vs Andrew Wilson” August 18, 2026: - The New Republic “The Charlie Kirk Grift”

  Had our yearly apartment inspection. 2 Guys comes in does their thing. Looks at my monitor, "Damn dude, that thing is old, you run AOL on it?" Other guy, "you even old enough to remember AOL?" YG, "Yeah, I was born in 1997." Me: "Dude, that monitor is as old as you are!"

  The internet enabled "connectivity". All these isolated pockets of information and communities and people always existed before, but being able to connect them together with the internet was what created the huge marginal value. I think the gains falls into 3 general buckets: 1) Connecting/Aggregating supply and demand. People have way more choices now from both supply and demand side - Amazon, Facebook (for human interests/social communities) 2) Efficiency gains from better coordination - Amazon 2 Day Delivery. 3) Frictionless instant distribution - Netflix streaming movies into your home Everyone has been talking about who extracts the most value from the AI stack, and if you look at the internet it's undoubtedly the applications that did. The rest of the stack essentially became commoditized. So let's get back to AI. In the same vein, i think AI enables "intelligence". Before this if you wanted to build a website, you had to hire someone who had the "intelligence" or gain the "intelligence" yourself to build it. Now you just ask AI and it does it for you. Intelligence/Execution is now cheap. Everyone has an intelligent PHD who knows a little of everything working for them on their computer now. OpenAI/Anthropic doesn't feel too different than say AOL back in the day when it was the only way consumers could access the internet. Eventually people had alternatives and it went away although for the internet providers, AOL didn't necessarily provide "better" internet than its competitors but the frontier AI models could potentially. AI Chips/Hardware now don't seem too dissimilar to how modems/routers/optic cables were for the internet. It'll still be short squeezed in the short term, but we'll eventually get more alternatives and supply. Energy/infrastructure - Eventually ppl will build data centers in the middle of nowhere with energy supply and it'll be fine. There will be alternatives. So i think eventually all the value will accrue to the application layer as everything else gets commoditized? But what would those applications look like? One thought experiment would be to consider which companies/products couldn't exist without the internet. Everyone in FAANG could be considered here, so maybe the trick is to find companies that couldn't exist without AI? Walmart would still exist without the internet, but not Amazon. Amazon figured out how to give itself an unfair advantage with the internet. Google obviously couldn't exist without the internet. So what are the similar parallels for AI? Maybe something like Harvey? What could i do with AI that i couldn't before (besides coding?). Most things still just feel like marginal efficiency gains (besides coding), instead of completely newly unlocked capabilities. I could imagine like a personal AI health assistant that will give you the vitamins or cook personalized meals (via contractor) you need everyday based on your data. Or maybe like an AI home system that helps you schedule for maintenance/repairs without you needing to think about it? Perhaps the internet solved the distribution problem, so the bet should just be on companies who already have a lock on distribution like $CRM and bet that they'll figure AI out. But perhaps we still need more time for AI to play out to identify these potential long term winners. We still don't really know what we can actually do with AI yet

  Something about $BSP: they bought AOL at a 5x income before tax, which is optically cheap right? The small issue is that they bought it from Apollo and imho there's zero chance Apollo got a bad deal
