  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.

  Airtable sold for a tenth of its peak. The founders kept the AI business. Bending Spoons announced today it's buying Airtable, all cash. The headline number hides three better stories. The deal: - Enterprise value: $1.285 billion - Equity value: ~$2.25 billion, but only because Airtable is sitting on ~$965M of net cash - Read that again: nearly half the purchase price is Airtable's own unspent money being handed back to shareholders - Peak valuation: $11.7B, December 2021 Series F. The business just cleared at roughly 89% below that - ARR: ~$480M, growing 20%. That's ~2.7x revenue. SpaceX paid 15x for Cursor six weeks ago The waterfall, per a widely shared model built on public terms (directional, assumes vanilla 1x prefs): - Everyone from Series C onward took par. Coatue, Thrive, Greenoaks, XN wrote checks at $1.1B, $2.6B, $5.8B, and $11.7B posts and got 1.0x of money back - CRV: ~21x on the 2015 Series A, ~6x on the B - Caffeinated Capital: ~37x on the A1 - Freestyle and Felix Shpilman at the 2013 seed: ~55x - ~$960M left for converting holders. The three founders, assuming ~15% held, split about $144M. Call it $50M each after 13 years - Same lesson as always: the last four rounds funded the exit for the first three Now the buried lede, from the SEC filing: - Before signing, Airtable ran a reorganization that transferred the entire "Hyperagent" business line out of the company into a separate entity, Hyperagent Inc - Hyperagent is the AI agent orchestration platform Airtable unveiled in early 2026, spin up teams of autonomous agents across your business tools - Bending Spoons is buying the database, the workflows, the 500K orgs, the 80% of the Fortune 100, and the $480M of recurring revenue - The seller is keeping the agents On Hyperagent's performance: there are no disclosed numbers. It launched roughly six months ago. No ARR, no customer counts, nothing public. What we know is that it was worth carving out of a billion-dollar deal, which is its own kind of disclosure. On whether the founders stay: nobody has said explicitly. Howie Liu's statement talks about "building the AI-native platform of the future," which reads either way on purpose. But follow the structure, not the quotes. The founders' holding company now owns Hyperagent outright, free of the legacy business. One newsletter's blunt read: Liu keeps the AI project without having to be the one who does the layoffs. The Italians do that part. And they will. Bending Spoons' playbook is public record: buy at a discount, cut deep, raise prices on customers too embedded to leave, run it for cash. Evernote, WeTransfer, Vimeo, AOL in January, Eventbrite in March. Airtable is the first deal since its July Nasdaq listing at $18.4B, and the first paid for with public-market currency. The frame: a decacorn built over 13 years just sold its core for less than the cash on its own balance sheet plus a modest premium, while the founders walked out the back door with the AI upside in a clean-room entity. The 2021 vintage investors got their money back and nothing else. The seed got 55x. And the most honest sentence in the whole transaction is a highlighted paragraph in a 6-K that nobody reads. Every exit this cycle tells you where the value is. This one says: the workflows are worth 2.7x revenue. The agents are worth keeping.

  @remarks I hope they get rid of all the crap and the tattoo FREAKS. I just visited @Myspace and it's a mess. I want a blank page that I can build myself and I hope I don't NEED to know code to do it, but that the coding and copy and pasting is still there. It was a great space and Tom was the best friend. Never cared what I posted, never censored me, never suspended my account or made me play pictionary to get in. I could just log in, find friends, talk to them, have a blog, and say whatever I want without getting dinged for it. It even served as my America Online Profile when AOL went to that Bebo crap or whatever that nonsense was. Hope My Space will be free too. No data broker nonsense.

  @pitbullmom99999 @JackMeoff781 I sent messages like that in AOL chat rooms when I was like 13. Feeling pretty or validated by someone complimenting/supporting you…. but it’s not you…. Or your story…. Or the truth…. 😬 wild ****

  The WWF AOL page. So cool. Live chats with wrestlers, a trivia game I was so good at people would spam IMs to slow me down. Good stuff.

  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.

  @airtable raised at $11.7B in December 2021. This morning it agreed to be acquired by Bending Spoons at roughly $2.25B equity value, about 80% off the peak. Everyone's reading that as a collapse. It isn't. Airtable does ~$480M in ARR, growing 20%+ a year, across 500,000 organizations including 80% of the Fortune 100. If you described that business to someone without telling them the funding history, they'd call it excellent. So the company didn't fail. The 2021 price failed. And I think there's something worth taking from that if you're building right now. For about a decade, the scoreboard was the valuation. It was the thing that got tweeted, the thing that got you on the podcast, the thing that made you feel like you were winning. And it turned out to be the single most reversible number in the whole business. Revenue doesn't get revised down 80% by a change in interest rates. Paper does. Nobody is handing out 2021 valuations in 2026. That's not the loss it sounds like. It just means the only number left worth chasing is the one that was always real. Also worth watching: Bending Spoons has now bought AOL, Eventbrite and Airtable inside seven months. Somebody has noticed there's a whole generation of good software companies stranded above their last round, and has built an acquisition machine pointed directly at them.

  @ERCboxoffice Maybe during the classical studio system of Hollywood era (~1927-1948), the WB/Paramount merger would have been better. Today, it is horrible. The Disney-Fox, Disney-Marvel, Disney-Lucasfilm, AOL Time Warner, AT&T Time Warner, etc. mergers/acquisitions were horrid.
