  @oelma__ I still have an AOL address. The only thing I never used was a waterbed.

  @DomainDegen @oelma__ I never had a check book nor an AOL address. But I have laid down in a water bed so I count that one. 😸

  @hthieblot Oldest website I still use would have to be Yahoo. I still think about Quantum Link (Q-Link) , which was a Commodore 64/128 only dial-up service I joined in 1986. Mainly used it to play chess online. Kind of counts as an "app". Q-Link later became AOL.

  I've never experienced psychosis, but in 2020 my friend who had bipolar experienced severe psychosis that resulted in his death. I met J when I was a teen back in the AOL days. I was going through a lot and he told me to get my *** back to school, finish high school and go to uni

  I mean, the mismanagement didn't help. Plenty of customers stayed with AOL for ages because it was easier than switching to a better, faster, cheaper internet experience. HughesNet took their customers for granted and the satisfaction scores reflected it.

  @eyecewe @hthieblot It was a masterpiece. AOL, spawn of hell, bought out Netscape in 1998 & deliberately destroyed it trying to force people back to hell. Worst decision in internet history.

  A couple live CRE underwriting tests using the three major LLMs: Q1: "Review this lease. Is it NNN, gross or something else?" (The gotcha here was a Prop 13 protection clause.) Grok 4.5 Expert: Nailed it (2:22 mins) Chat 5.6 Sol Pro: Nailed it (5:44mins) Claude Opus 5: Whiff (no time given) Not only did not Claude fail to pick up the exemption to a sale-related property tax increase, but specifically called out that on sale the buyer COULD benefit from a substantial property tax passthrough to the commercial tenant. Oops. (FWIW our attorney using an aol email address easily picked this up) Q2: "This month's PG&E bill was $5,800 - use this annual bar graph to estimate the full year's expense." Grok 4.5 Expert: $74,500 Chat 5.6 Sol Pro: $75,000 Claude Opus 5: $74,400 Very tight range - useful little hack since we sometimes don't get a full year's utility bills to underwrite, and have to eyeball off these sketchy bar charts. The moral of course is that these systems can be amazing, helpful, even indispensable underwriting tools - but can lead you astray if not used properly.
