  If you ever find yourself scrolling X and feeling like there’s too much happening and you’re falling behind on __________ thing, zoom out and realize by even being here and a part of the conversation you’re already light years ahead of 99% of the population w/ respect to the AI renaissance we’re currently living through. We’re still so early. It’s like the days when AOL used to mail you a CD ROM to onboard you onto dial up internet - we’re there. Spending the weekend with old friends in Austin, none of whom are in tech/SaaS or marketing. They’re doctors, actors/producers, teachers, civil engineers, carpenters, etc…and most of what we talk about on this app is totally alien to them. Which is totally fine. I’m hanging with the $20/mo Claude plan crowd. Their X feed is completely different. While I get a crazy amount of knowledge from this site it comes with decent bit of anxiety as well. There’s a shitload of noise to find the actual signal. That’s the apparent trade off — a sense of impending doom and feeling like if I don’t immediately test this platform/load this skill/build this workflow/try this model, etc…in exchange for what a never ending stream of knowledge from some genuinely brilliant people.

  @LikeUrDiane If we stick to AOL being only for emergency use or our own military use only, that would be fine. I miss landline phones.

  @DaddyWarpig Based on how utterly ******* ignorant AOL news headlines read in 2003 before the Iraq invasion, this doesn't surprise me in the least. I expect it to be this bad or worse now.

  News flash, they never did. Even at the height of the Attitude Era wrestling was still looked down upon even with star athletes Kevin Greene, Dennis Rodman & Karl Malone headlining ppvs. Hardcore wrestling fans used to ***** in AOL chatrooms and Delphi Forums about celeb involvement. If you want further proof, no one outside of hardcore nerds watches AEW

  @getwhatugive @LynAldenContact You’re collapsing the product and the protocol. BlackRock/MSTR make money if demand for bitcoin rises. Demand rises when access gets easier: brokerage accounts, 401ks, treasuries, Lightning, hardware wallets. Shrinking the buyer pool would hurt their bags. That’s the opposite incentive of “reduce access.” Early internet had AOL too. Walled gardens expanded the user base first. The open network still won because the protocol wasn’t owned by AOL.Same here. An ETF is not a modem ban. Anyone can still run a node, hold keys, and send sats. Institutions can offer a wrapper. They cannot revoke the chain. “Gemini agrees” is not an argument. The music-sharing analogy also fails: Napster was illegal and centralized. Bitcoin settles on a public ledger. You don’t sterilize that by listing a ticker.

  @MapQuest Hahahaha this is like AOL screaming in 2026 they aren’t going to use AI or some ****. Like no one cares what you do because no one uses you anymore.

  @AntiEVidiots When EVs were niche, driving one was like being part of a community with a shared secret. Similar to being on the internet in the early 1990s, before the AOL hordes turned up with their poor netiquette.
