  If you follow the debates in France, Bavaria and the UK, institutions that still care about sovereignty in police and intelligence are struggling to justify their Palantir contracts. Karp applies the same rhetorical operation he once ran on the Frankfurt School to dismiss open-weight bare-metal local AI: autonomous, private, sovereign exactly at the nation-state layer - where Palantir instead builds a global empire on critical data, pushing proprietary “ontology” across military, police and surveillance with zero open source, weaponizing the arguments of the systemic opponent as travesty. The US hyperscaler bubble doubles down on proprietary monoliths defending their shrinking moats, while technology moves the other way. They all want to become the SGI, Sun, Digital or AOL of the AI age.

  Not every inbox shows it yet. Gmail, Yahoo and AOL support BIMI today. Apple Mail and Outlook are limited or still evolving. Setup is free. The VMC is the cost that actually stops most people.

  @MarinaMedvin All this is aol Ed by simply leaving nato and let the eurozone deal with their own problems. I hear France can sortie a flotilla with carrier at least for a few weeks. And the UK only needs a couple of months to get one destroyer ready for sea. win win. Imagine all the lolz

  @DavidJHarrisJr Is she still alive? What would happen if we all just ignored her and the others like her? That goes for AOL, etc. too! If we had ignored AOL, there’s a good chance she would never have gotten so powerful.

  In like 1997 an adult man found my AOL profile and emailed me just to tell me that I seemed very stupid and and that all my interests were stupid and I emailed him back that I was sorry but that I was 14 and that might have something to do with it.

  @justinkallhoff @RonDeSantis Not anti AI, just cautious AI. Perhaps AI should not be widely available. Perhaps it should be geared toward business use, like the Adobe software suite or Microscoft Office suite of business software. Like any tool, it has potential for both good and bad. We don’t let 13 year olds drive cars and drink beer for a reason… perhaps AI should not be so readily available to young minds. They can learn to use AI under a teacher’s guidance ( to use in a later career- it’s an essential skill). And for the record, I would completely shove the Internet back in a box… life was so much more simple in the late 80s and early 90s before PCs and AOL brought the Internet to anyone who could afford it. Same with cell phones. And the irony is not lost on me I am discussing this with strangers on the Internet 🤓

  For people with newsletters - do you get more spam reports from AOL/Yahoo users? I have a user which hit mark as spam 3 times in the last month or so, but is still using the product. People tell me that's "normal" for AOL/Yahoo users, that some of them treat mark as spam button as a delete button. How to handle this? Disabling the user?

  I haven’t been buying the "SaaSpocalypse," but Q1’s nosediving SaaS valuations gave me pause. After a week in SF last month sampling the AI zeitgeist, I have a better feel for where the software sector is heading. It’s the SaaS-to-inference transition, and it’s good. My long-standing view has been that AI is a net positive for the software industry. It radically raises the ceiling for what software products can do. It should dramatically expand the market opportunity for software, just like the on-prem-to-cloud transition did back in the day. Yet many have been freaking out. After all, haven’t SaaS switching costs come down dramatically in SaaS, threatening one of the pillars of the business model? Yes, there’s no doubt that the “cement around the ankles” of legacy SaaS has weakened. At the same time, most legacy SaaS companies have barely scratched the surface of AI innovation while maintaining their historically high retention. This is how it played out in the last major transition: on-prem-to-cloud. Many legacy players (pathetically) ignored cloud innovation for 5-10 years (or longer) and still kept their customers. It turns out that technology is stickier than most in the tech industry believe. Take a look at Bending Spoons, which IPO’d off the back of buying crappy legacy products and jacking up prices because users didn’t want to give up their AOL email or Evernote notes. Tech industry people are not like this. They tend to be part of the very small minority of early adopters. Most people aren’t like this. Neither are most organizations. Legacy software isn’t going to disappear. But if pre-AI software companies don’t embrace AI innovation, their customers will be much less forgiving than on-prem customers 10-20 years ago. AI capabilities are too potent and obviously beneficial. What does embracing AI innovation look like? It means layering intelligent actions into all software. Historically, great software has helped users follow the right workflow. Now, great software must do the workflow by triggering agents to take actions. In other words, inference. The great news for everyone is that this opens the door to consumption-based pricing models that can scale exponentially. For legacy players and startups alike, delivering amazing AI-powered, agentic features is the way to get on the vertical-growth train. Remarkably, the door is still open for legacy players. Intercom’s 3.6b exit to Salesforce is a great example. Of course, new pricing models mean new margin structures. Just as SaaS had lower gross margins than legacy on-prem, expect consumption-priced inference to have lower gross margins. This is OK! We’ve already seen massive wins for inference-selling startups with negative gross margins, like Cursor. Legacy SaaS companies need to find religion on this. Dropping margins is never easy. Lock up the finance team if you have to. The priority is delivering AI-powered value for customers. Everything else is just details.

  One of the small things that I am proud of. I don’t become a raging douchbag online. What I am online is the exact same person you’ll find in real life. For I understand a keyboard is not an all access pass to being an *******. Too bad so many today never had a fight in a nickel arcade because some weird douchbag wouldn’t stop bumping into you while you’re trying to beat PAC Man. Too bad so many today have never enjoyed the killing fields of chat rooms in AOL. Too bad.
