  @AOL I'm a european user and have had my account for ten years. This is enraging. Put the password bar back to login pages. @YahooCare @AOLSupportHelp

  @xwanyex Yes. Very much this. I remember my first post-college job in mid/late 90s, bored between faxes I was sending for my boss at a large non profit (kids this is all true and not satire.) On ICQ, pre AOL acquisition, I was chatting w someone in Tasmania (a pilot, he claimed) and another person, a professor from South UK, who told me to listen to Rodrigo. This was still before you could send graphic files so everyone was an avatar and words unless you put a photograph in an envelope and mailed it. I ended up writing a novel when a startup I’d just joined closed in mid 2000, about how relationships and communication would and have changed in this new texting world. Never published it because “some people did some things” in 2001 and agents only wanted non fiction, and then I lost the drive. Thank you for coming to my TED walk down memory lane.

  I think OpenAI and Anthropic might be the CompuServe and AOL of the AI era. Does anyone actually think Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Oracle, IBM, X/Twitter, and all of the other big tech companies will just allow these 2 badly run startups to capture the AI market? OpenAI and Anthropic don't have a moat or sustainable competitive advantage. To win they have to not only develop a moat but penetrate some of the most fortified moats. Model quality isn't a moat. Kimi, Grok, Deepseek proved that. Inference will become a commodity utility that requires massive CapEx that neither can finance. Interface is where the moat is the weakest. OpenAI and Anthropic do not own the apps or the OS. The OS and apps are owned by parties who view OpenAI or Anthropic as threats. The OS and apps are where AI choice happens. As if that is not grim enough, AI sovereignty will become an issue. Consumers will want their iCloud data to stay in iCloud, their OneDrive data to stay in OneDrive, etc. Enterprise customers will want AI from their cloud providers to reduce egress and for performance + IP reasons. It is honestly hard to imagine a world where OpenAI and Anthropic survive as they are. They will either morph into companies with entirely different value offerings or die like Compuserve and AOL.

  @Gpersonobserver @woofknight You're old. 😬 I missed the AOL address (could had have one, but didn't), never used a water bed or paper mat (what was that for???) and had no checkbook (paid mostly cash).

  The answer is, no. The advice is to build a sandbox properly. An AI that can steal credentials is the worst example of a sandbox I’ve seen since 1996 when I was head of testing for the launch of all new technology for AOL in the UK, and AIM globally. This is all 100% PR. Is AI a danger to society? Yes. But that’s because the humans at the wheel don’t care.

  @LGarretson66717 Ohh I never heard of that unfortunately. Once aol started going down and FB started to rise ask Insta it just scattered but Twitter or x. Then you got into it a bit but had to file around

  I worked from home no doubt. Started with fax machines. We actually use high resolution fac machines to transfer camera ready artwork. Long before AOL dial up. F.I.N.S. works with all software or no computers at all like morse code after a first strike during the Cold War my SOS.

  @MilkRoadAI Frontier models appear headed down the AOL road. If Anthropic and OpenAI fail, I wonder who gets dragged down with them.
