#TriHerbal Woman✨ (@TRIhunna) reported from Chicago, IllinoisPlease update your app. It’s AOL dial up type slow @ShopifySupport. It literally crashes every 3 commands. Also, it would behoove you to make it an option to be able to print labels/ packing slips in bulk as opposed to which day they’re purchased Printing shouldn’t be a hassle

Helena (@thelastpinkcar) reported from Chicago, IllinoisGeez @verizon I pay $330/month for 6 devices on a family plan, and I can only use my jetpack for approximately two weeks of normal internet usage, and then you slow me down to pre-AOL dial-up speeds. Just hate this. That's not fair at all.

Trinity Ashcroft (@TrinityAshcroft) reported@BlueHawkLegend I get that, but the amount of utility is not enough to say that it’s being used at any kind of scale really. It’s like the beginning of the Internet when we had Netscape and AOL. It seems like everybody was using it, but most people weren’t. And out of the entire planet only five people have exposure to crypto that’s nothing imagine what percent of that is actual utility. It’s insignificant it’s hard to see because we’re immersed in it all the time and we think everyone knows about it and we wonder why people aren’t doing something about it why they’re not buying bags of it. It’s because you’ve done all this research and you know what’s going on and you’ve been knowing what’s going on for probably years so it’s frustrating because stuff isn’t happening but it will and when you look back, you’ll be like holy crap I was so freaking early and I had the patience of a saint and you’ll pat yourself in the back and then go jump in your swimming pool of whatever precious gem you fill it with lol who cares what everyone else is doing and what the price is doing if you’ve done your research, you know where it’s gonna go and that’s all you have to have Vision and the faith and the patience to wait for it to happen

Brett Caughran (@FundamentEdge) reportedMy playful analogy is we are in the AOL era of AI. Early stage of a revolutionary technology, but the delivery mechanism is still clunky, requiring really dumb concepts like prompt engineering. In 1996, you couldn't even imagine business models like Uber, Netflix, the iPhone, YouTube or Tesla FSD, because the technology wasn't even close to capable or cost effective enough. From 1996-2006 global data volume grew by a factor of 10,000,000x (per Gemini), but that growth was hugely deflationary (wholesale IP transit cost down 99%), i.e. good for the application layer and selectively bad for the pipe owners (telecom). Overall, the mix of massive volume growth offset against gnarly price deflation has been a, net/net, positive thing for telecom investing. Does that hold for the frontier labs? "Intelligence pipe" feels like it can be a pretty damn awesome business, but, like telecoms, the evolution of "intelligence pipe as a business" will be extremely path dependent and will require real business models with attractive unit economics to fund. Obviously most of the 90's era telecoms went bust and the assets were only financially productive for the 2nd or 3rd owners, mostly due to balance sheet issues & the subsequent closing of the capital markets window. Though capital markets have evolved materially since the early 2000's telecom bust with a regulatory environment more supportive of monopolies/oligopolies and private capital markets more supportive of funding massive cash burn (to wit, I think it's a really bad idea for Anthropic to IPO in '26, but what do I know?). So imagine that prior but like 10-100x the size of the internet. Maybe more? As in 1996 when you couldn't even envision Netflix/Uber, the iPhone or Tesla FSD, we have zero idea what 2056 looks like, but the exponential will certainly drive even more upside uncertainty in technology. idk, hard to be structurally bearish on the "intelligence pipe" and subsequently, infrastructure that feeds the pipe (though it feels certain there will be super gnarly potholes, messy shakeouts, and bankruptcies along the way, as we saw in telecom evolution), and ultimately what matters is free cash flow production, which feeds from the intersection of exponential volumes against unit level deflation. What's exciting to me with the improvement in the models, both frontier like Fable/Sol and open source like Kimi/GLM/Deep-Seek, is you are getting *closer* so seeing a real application layer possible in a very intellectually difficult sandbox like public market investing. Nearly four years from GPT 3.5 demo, we still aren't there. We are still in the "AOL era" - too slow, not competent enough, too expensive. But are we exiting that era? It feels to me like we might be. If I had to guess, my guess is the frontier labs continue to be good businesses (and extremely volatile public stocks), mostly due to the reflexive nature of capital markets & talent acquisition. But what seems really obvious, to me, is that 2026-2036 is going to be the era of the application layer, where the Travis Kalanick-style entrepreneur takes this "intelligence pipe" and envisions new & groundbreaking businesses that change the world. That entrepreneurial accelerate will drive durable and accelerating demand for the intelligence pipe, it seems. It's a really exciting time to be alive.
