  @oelma__ Don't forget AOL. I had an AOL and a yahoo. A Hotmail I never used too.

  @Pirat_Nation PSN is always going down. Worst online service since AOL. Anyway, it's an excuse for the physical media moaners to start up.

  @JoelKatz @RealZaikTorek @Awk20000 Not to mention the very first big section 230 case was about AOL and them being too slow to censor a malicious troll who was spreading confirmed lies that led to harassment. So even if the argument is "the website didn't censor this" then that's a core Section 230 argument.

  Marc Andreessen wrote a browser at 22 and took a company with no profits public at $2,900,000,000 in a single day. He built Mosaic as a student employee at the University of Illinois supercomputing center, paid $6.85 an hour. It was the first browser that showed images alongside text. The university claimed the software. He left for California, and Jim Clark, who had already founded Silicon Graphics, funded him to build it again from scratch. Netscape Navigator shipped in late 1994 and took most of the web inside months. The IPO came in August 1995, 16 months after founding. The company had almost no revenue and no profit at all. Shares were set at $28 and opened at $71. The close valued Netscape near $2,900,000,000. Wall Street had never priced a company on future users instead of earnings. Every dot-com listing that followed used the template. Microsoft bundled Internet Explorer with Windows for free. Netscape sold to AOL in 1999 and the browser disappeared. He co-founded Andreessen Horowitz in 2009 and now writes the checks. He proved a company could be worth billions before it made a dollar.

  How do all these people have 10s of thousands of "followers"? People that don't necessarily post anything new or just re-posts of other peoples' thoughts & work. I don't get it. I've been a member for a while now (w/ THIS acct - my orig was cancelled by Twitter during COVID for telling the factual scientific truth about masks based on my years in Bio-Nanotechnology). Is it strictly from those "Follow" train lists? I learned early on to stay away from those - I check out EVERYBODY I ever follow first & personally (not necessarily relying upon Grok's "Profile Summary", although those may get me interested to take a gander). I try to engage those who engage with me and avoid silly flame-wars. I don't post to GET followers, I generally post current stream-of-consciousness thoughts, what's on my mind at that moment & not really organizing them into proper English "articles". Plus I'm not really good at pithy comments - I speak from my heart & soul and EXPLAIN myself & my reasoning for coming to different conclusions. And I typically don't engage in irrational, emotional hyperbole & name-calling. I truly want to know what others think and LEARN (you're never too old to learn!). For DECADES on BBSes (Bulletin Board Systems - pre-graphical internet days, modem-connected social systems for discussion, research & debates), the Usenets (newsgroups, pre-graphical/HTTP/HTML internet days when time on the internet was purchased through 3rd party vendors like CompuServe by the hour - 70s & 80s, pre-AOL (which is slightly pre-HTTP/HTML/Mozilla-Netscape graphical internet revolution) - where everything was command-line driven in ASCII, EBCDIC, ISO set or ATASCII or the like). Am I just too old, boring, long-winded, obnoxious, opinionated or what? I know its annoying with me posting about my health, but I've gotta vent SOMEWHERE and NO ONE on X knows me personally. Not that it matters so much now, I'm heading down the stretch-run to Home plate, but even paying for Elon's blue-checkmark, I don't get many hits/views or responses/engagement, it is pretty comparable to my "free" account that I use solely for NFL stuff where I have 1 whole "follower", which is probably one of those online ho-bags. It's not that I'm looking to "earn" from X and I'll NEVER post things just for click-bait value. I'm just really curious how these other accounts accrue so many followers for literally not doing much,

  This pro-PRC model industry group from Silicon Valley is interesting but I think not thinking long-term. Why can’t the frontier labs do something like AOL did with its Greenhouse project and say OK, I will let you distill but we want equity in your company and/or a fee. AOL got equity for promotion/placement on the screen. (we committed 30+ million at MarketWatch, helped traffic and the ipo a lot, but worst company I have ever negotiated with). Anyway, apologies for the digression, but why couldn’t this be similar but for distillation access, and the labs like Anthropic and OpenAI could end up with a really interesting portfolio of companies, some of which might become quite valuable, and those smaller firms’ VCs could also benefit? Otherwise, does it really make sense for a huge swathe of the American technology industry to end up dependent on PRC models? Haven’t we learned any lessons from other industries where PRC firms have been able to come in at a very low cost with good products and effectively create dependencies that crowd at all other competitors? And now we are talking about the most transformative industry in many years, and it could be even worse if it’s built in part through some problematic practices in terms of distillation attacks and export control violations, if some of US government’s and frontier labs’ claims are true?
