  @zoolegs 1. Told someone I was from Michigan and that the weather here was nice. 2. Called someone an *******. Both times I tried to lie and tell my grandma I didn't do it and both times AOL ratted me out with the receipts.

  @Smoke56895160 @AOL Cancel the election until there is no more pandemic virus. That should fix it

  @blind_via I love that you can tell immediately exactly who this data is from and how they got it. Incredibly obvious by AOL Mail being the same amount of time as Twitter, this is boomers who click yes on every single pop-up they are given and were served a pop up on some scammy site or an email to "help with a brief survey" that led them to install the browser extension they used to get this data. Literally no one else would intentionally install a browser extension to track how they use their computer.

  We cannot organize online. They have aol our devices hacked. We cannot organize, irl, they are the police force that will use energy weapons. Just. Be. Cool. And. Evolve. Into. Your. Anti-Christ. Shield. They NEED you to bow down to their frequency, and feed it. Don’t.

  History tells us that the companies that are early leaders in a software category rarely remain so. Altavista? Excite? InfoSeek? You're old if you remember those, but at the time they were dominant. Then came Yahoo, then Google... Years later. AOL? EarthLink? Compuserve? They were the Internet for most users. Now? Telcos & Cable cos reinvented themselves as consumer ISPs and dial up mostly died. The historical examples go way beyond software. The point is that although OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok/X, Google are dominating AI right now, things change in ways we can't forecast. The next better faster cheaper different AI solution that erases some current leaders probably hasn't been created yet. I do wonder though, who dies first? I'm talking 5-10 year window.

  @grok why is your latency so slow compared to ChatGpt, Gemini, Claude, etc. I wait and wait and wait while you think. Reminds me of AOL dial up in the 90s.

  Gather round children, let me tell you of the Netscape Navigator In the Year of our Lord Early-1990s, one could access Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) -- essentially, a highly-selective Reddit -- BY PHONE, not the internet. You also played your friends in Warcraft 2 by phone. If you had email it likely came through a university (or, in time, your ISP) "Walled Gardens" were built out at AOL and Prodigy to facilitate user-friendly graphical interactions over the most of the 'net you were gonna get your hands on. But then... Netscape. FREE YOUR MIND was stamped all over the thing. You could do what you wanted, when you wanted it. Just a whiff of the icon could turn that frown upside down. You could guess the full URL for the admin login portal for major companies, then go to the human-legible cookie file on your machine and change the access granted value to true! When you opened someone's computer and they didn't have Netscape, your Promethean introduction of technological fire established your reputation as a true hacker We exchanged the latest search engines: WebCrawler, AltaVista, Dogpile. Jerry's Guide, even. Real wizard-tier esoterica. College students had access to unlimited bandwidth. A normal chump at home was sitting on 1-3% of 1 Mbps, or maybe 1/8 of 1 Mbps if he was a high roller with an ISDN line. But college students had T1s (1.5 Mbps) or even T3s (45 Mbps for a whole school, maybe even just a dorm). With all those sweet sweet kbps, you hit up IRC and your beautifully personal Geocities page. You used Winzip and Winamp (llama hater!). You had ASCII text art in your sig. Later in the 90s, you burned mix CDs for friends with Nero's Burning ROM and downloaded wallpapers from Digital Blasphemy. You had Juno mail, then Hotmail and Yahoo, to FREE YOUR MIND and take your email with you wherever you wanted to go. And at the heart of all this: Netscape Navigator, a.k.a Excalibur, a.k.a. Eternally-On-Evaluation, a.k.a. the 3rd-best piece of freedom I experienced after exploring our drainage ditches and getting my own bike It was truly special. Thank you @pmarca This site best viewed with Netscape Navigator v1.22N

  @syruproxy We met on an AOL aviation message board. 🤭 We crossed paths many times as kids but never met. We met in person a few weeks after nonstop phone calls and we've never been apart. I was on furlough from the airline I flew with, and I said no when they called me back. 📟 didn't work in the countries I flew to and we were inseparable by then. 30 years ago. 🩶

  while every fund on earth chases the next AI-native SaaS, a Milan company just went public buying the ones everyone left for dead. Bending Spoons closed its first day up 40% on the Nasdaq, roughly an $18B valuation. their portfolio is AOL, Vimeo, Evernote, WeTransfer, Eventbrite, Meetup. the stuff you probably have a dormant login for. the consensus says pre-AI software is a melting ice cube. anyone can spin up a Notion clone in a weekend, so the whole cohort trades like it's going to zero. the CEOs of those companies believe it too, which is why they sell to Bending Spoons for a number that looks insane on paper and reasonable in a spreadsheet. the market keeps mispricing one thing. a brand people already trust with their files, their notes, their event tickets is the hardest asset to manufacture in software right now. AI features are cheap. 500 million monthly users who opened the app this week cost a decade to build. so Bending Spoons buys the loyalty, cuts payroll to the studs, centralizes engineering in Milan, ships AI on top, raises prices, holds forever. Evernote's personal plan went up 63% because the switching cost was always higher than the sticker.

  @bobo103nyc I remember seeing this as a kid back in the AOL days and thinking “surely this is the worst thing I’ll ever see on the internet”
