  I'm going to call about this in the morning... The man survived the attack, but it doesn't feel like they're doing enough to find out who committed this crime. Instead, they are already painting a picture with unconfirmed sources saying that he said something inappropriate to someone's girlfriend. When I asked AI to tell me where this information came from, it could only refer to an AOL article, and then the replication of this unconfirmed sources narrative with subsequent publications... Basically, it's a bunch of bullshit that people kept replicating. It's wild to see the level of trauma this man experienced, and for the immediate narrative to be spun that he is the perpetrator. That is what is disturbing me the most about this case... Both of his eyes begin to swell shut, and blood was squirting out the side of his neck. That is an extremely violent beating in the middle of broad daylight... It is literally an attempted murder. Anytime a weapon is used to impale a location such as the neck, it is a felony offense and the person's image needs to be shared immediately. Hundreds of people witnessed this in broad daylight. There should have already been a press conference to calm the public. Why is no one trying to reassure the public that they're safe? How can they be safe if no one knows the identity of a crazy murderous maniac roaming the streets? These are just some of the thoughts that are probably going through some of the people's heads that were traumatized by this event. I genuinely feel for them. I'm happy this man survived and didn't bleed out... It was the awareness of applying the pressure that probably saved his life. Had he been unconscious and without help, he probably would have died from bleeding out right there on the ground. I'll definitely be following up on this story...

  AOL had 30M users, and the internet locked down. Then the open web ate it. Anthropic and OpenAI are playing AOL right now. The Fable 5 rug pull just showed every enterprise exactly what it looks like to depend on closed AI. The off switch exists. Someone else holds it. Llama, Mistral, Qwen - they're not "almost as good" anymore. For most enterprise workloads, they're good enough. And they run on your own hardware. Apple MLX + NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops + rapidly improving open weights = the mainframe-to-PC transition, happening in real time. Open-source AI will do to Frontier Labs what the open internet did to AOL. History doesn't always repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes. The only question is how long you keep building on someone else's infrastructure before you start owning yours.

  And btw y’all aol IM for my friends and I was the coolest thing in middle school, then it faded. So by the time we were in HS literally no one cared or used it. Maybe casually in freshman year? Everyone just wanted to hang out in person instead which was way cooler. The by sr yr

  @VerizonSupport the directions I’m given do NOT MATCH my screen. I a sick of the incessant outages and lack of support, I’ll cancel my contract with Verizon and find a provider that actually DOES allow access! AOL in the 90’s was faster!

  The Funny thing is Other Platforms have been used for over 30 years and Blocking based on age will never work remember Fake ID's that Doesn't Stop at Undocumented immigrants or Teen's with any desire to say Goodbye 👋. Like AOL

  @Rorothats70s @D4Pats12 @uscfan981 Austin wasn't the reason why WCW ended It was Money Laundering AOL Time Warner execs who charged WCW 10 times the standard on production costs on everything with affiliated & linked companies They didn't want wrestling on their network. It was a choice If TNA can be around for this long & lose more money than any other promotion in history, then you can clearly see that's a choice also.

  23. **Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (2008)** — Lost over $18.5 billion nominally, equivalent to over **$20.0 billion** today due to global credit declines and equity write-downs. 24. **Alcatel (2001)** — Suffered massive merger-related write-downs and market destruction during the telecom equipment collapse, crossing the **$20.0 billion** inflation-adjusted threshold. 25. **Swiss Re (2008)** — Incurred tens of billions in asset impairments and structured credit losses during the financial crisis, placing its real-loss event at the **$20.0 billion** inflation-adjusted mark. The Three Eras of Corporate Destruction What stands out is how concentrated these losses are. The Dot-Com and Telecom Collapse (2000–2002) The telecom bubble produced the single greatest concentration of corporate losses ever observed. AOL Time Warner, JDS Uniphase, Qwest, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, Vivendi, Alcatel, and NTT all appear on the list. Trillions of dollars in market value evaporated as companies wrote down acquisitions, fiber networks, wireless licenses, and internet-related assets purchased at bubble-era valuations. The Global Financial Crisis (2008–2009) AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Citigroup, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, Credit Suisse, Swiss Re, and Mitsubishi UFJ all suffered enormous losses as mortgage securities, derivatives, and structured credit markets collapsed. Unlike many dot-com write-downs, these losses reflected real capital destruction that threatened the stability of the global financial system. Industry-Specific Collapses General Motors appears three separate times on the list, highlighting decades of structural challenges within the auto industry. United Airlines reflects the severe financial strain associated with bankruptcy and restructuring. Nakheel demonstrates how quickly even seemingly unstoppable real-estate booms can reverse. The Half-Trillion-Dollar Club The four largest losses alone account for nearly $470 billion in inflation-adjusted value destruction: * **AOL Time Warner (2002):** ~$143 billion * **AIG (2008):** ~$128 billion * **JDS Uniphase (2001):** ~$104 billion * **Fannie Mae (2009):** ~$94 billion Combined, these four annual losses destroyed more value than the current market capitalization of many of the world's largest public companies. The lesson from this ranking is simple: the biggest corporate losses rarely occur because a company has a bad quarter or even a bad year. They happen when an entire narrative breaks—whether it is internet mania, telecom euphoria, housing prices that supposedly never fall, or financial engineering that appears risk-free until suddenly it isn't.
