  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?

  Robert Johnson explains the exit-timing test behind selling BET to Viacom. BET had gone public in 1991 as "the first African American company publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange." Then Johnson and John Malone "bought the company back private in '98." The question became: "How do we continue to grow it and at the same time create an exit strategy for Liberty Media?" Then the market gave him a signal. "AOL merged with Time Warner." "That was sort of the highest valuation for media companies you'd ever see in a long time." When Sumner Redstone called, Johnson's first answer was not yes. "I don't think it's for sale." "Maybe we'd like you as a partner." "But I'm not ready to sell." He sold only after the control terms protected the asset. "If they wanted me to stay at the company for the five years I was going to sign the contract, it had to be independent." "I would only report to Sumner or Mel." When I look at a sale, this is the part I care about. The high valuation matters, but the better question is whether the buyer, timing, and control terms protect what made the asset valuable. - Robert Johnson on FoundationINTERVIEWS

  @MFruitninja @Motheo37001950 I’ve been on the internet since I was 12/13. AOL Teen Chat, etc being an only child I wanted connect with my peers at home. It was very wholesome for me. Never engaged with anyone other than my age mates.

  @stetansley Psn was down, but just like with physical games... you could still play what was installed offline, having a disc doesn't magically give you internet access... this isnt 1996 and AOL is long gone... dumbass

  @AlisonSomin @varadmehta AOL people were just boomers who never actually learned the internet.

  @d4doome Usenet was good until infiltrated & destroyed by spam. Unfiltered Usenet groups have no modern equivalent. X shadow bans & stifles, even under Elon. Facebook is horrid. But before I used Usenet I was banned from AOL forums. The original evil, from which sh*t sites like Facebook & Reddit are censorious de facto children. Also I caused these three groups to be created, in the day, when most anyone could create a group…
