#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.

Martin Ezeugwu (@EzeugwuMartin) reported@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?

Heath Weaver (@heathweaver) reported@qlypai For @twigl_it I don't think of it as a wrapper around a frontier model, but I guess you could say that. In my view, all frontier models will follow the path of AOL. It's moving rapidly along the same trajectory. AOL mail, chat were all massively popular; AOL's valuation went to the moon, etc. But then dedicated tools came in, and against the single focus, AOL couldn't compete. Once SpaceX launches space-based datacenters along with Starlink, the game will be up. My bet is that the harness is where the value is at. I have really zero loyalty to a particular model; I just want the highest raw intelligence with the ability to throttle down for work that doesn't need it. It's not even clear to me what Anthropic or OpenAI think is actually going to happen. I am sure they can see from their own metrics that like 95% of users are just using it as a glorified search engine. The mass does not care at all about the companies and will use whatever is best and free (i.e., ad-supported). In the long run, Google will likely win. So a true wrapper, like simply putting the API with a bit of context, will become irrelevant to higher levels of intelligence, but I don't think the frontier models can ever win against a superior harness on a really specific proprietary data pool. I am betting that people would rather have more control over their own data, be able to better direct context, and be able to use the best-performing self-healing skills with tools with the most intelligent model that is out there.

LeobenSage (@Johnnysage79) reported@PublicEnemiesHQ The only difference is Time Warner/AOL already had WCW. It was tanking before they merged, WWE was at great heights when TKO took over. TKO is like a bar owner that waters down the booze after a great night. WWE seems to just be people walking around, yelling, and crashing out.

MJ (@MJ8675309JM) reported@Barbara0699 @theliamnissan I’m almost embarrassed to say that I still use an AOL account for shopping, etc. I get enough free stuff from them to make it worthwhile, and they’re great at filtering out the garbage.

Ugam Kamat (@ugamkamat) reportedBefore 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.
