  @AOL is the worst internet provider and email service! That’s exactly why they are going out of business. They wont let me acquire an email that I have not used in years (which happens to be the same email for my IG). DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE!

  @FreddysUSA The code never comes. It’s been that way for days. Yes I’ve checked my spam folder too. Tried AOL mail and Yahoo mail both.

  @Dan_Jeffries1 Gates never said this. In the 1990s, Microsoft focused on proprietary online networks (MSN) rather than the 'internet'. Think AOL. The 'internet' was a side product you got by connecting to their proprietary service. Downplaying to be the source of connection = marketing 😐

  The horde is following each other off a cliff believing Madam Media’s hysterics over open source. I believe either Anthropic, OpenAI, or a newer competitor—or all three—will be ten times bigger than they are today within the next text years. The media is giving emotional reasons for the impending doom of frontier models. They’re spending more than they make isn’t evidence when every revolutionary tech giant did the same. That they’re doing it at unprecedented scale is a stronger version of the same point. Anthropic has penetrated about 1% of the enterprise market. Use cases are in their infancy. LLMs are the AOL of the AI age. We haven’t even gotten robotics and healthcare and everything else. The hyperscalers are only starting to show the analysts how slavishly emotional they are. The economists pointing to history books have never been right. They were the same group claiming we’d hit a new all time high plateau in 1999. History never repeats and rhymes only when you tilt your head and squint. In reality, reality is a complex adaptive system that requires constant analysis and logical assessment. There are no shortcuts, and you should never trust the hacks who use them. $AMZN $GOOGL

  @lili_poobear @Phantom_King_99 @gizalovespizza Ok, look, you can probably find a half dozen slightly different definitions of the word "evolve" online (we both know you didn't use a dead-tree dictionary). But the fact remains, to not evolve is to stagnate. Even the definition you gave, if converted the boolean opposite, would say, "to NOT develop gradually, especially from a simple to a more complex form", and you could then argue that OP wants it to get more complex, but RAPIDLY rather than SLOWLY. The point is technology should always advance. Just because you're unhappy with some specific implementation of technology in the present, doesn't mean that "advance" will mean "things get worse". It's pretty childish to take that position, in fact. I mean, for ****'s sake, you're ON THE INTERNET right now, probably using either wireless broadband, or wired broadband access to post this message. Can you imagine sitting in at your computer desk, with the monitor riser and built-in CD-ROM storage slots, dialing into AOL in about 1996 and saying, "GAH! I don't want technology to evolve any more. I'm tired of sitting here waiting for JPGs of John Stamos to take 40 seconds to load. I'm tired of getting my directions from Mapquest!"

  @BrianRoemmele I was working for NyNex in NYC and installed some of the first residential ISDN data lines. Years later, folks started using dial-up internet service after getting AOL cd's in the mail. Then we graduated to DSL and thought the future is here! It's funny looking back at it all.

  @RealAlexJones Viruses are boring. I used punters on AOL, NetBus, and Sub7 on IRC victims. I made a script on mIRC, and when someone /joins the #channel, it would send them porn.exe; when they for sure open it, it would pop up a MsgBox "porn is broken rofl.", vbCritical, "oops". #1337h4x0r

  @2147mill The problem with the normie test is that the internet passed it in 1999 too. Totally non techy families were on AOL back then as well, over 20 million of them by the end of 1999. Amazon went from 17 million customers to 25 million between 1999 and 2001 and nearly doubled revenue, and the stock still lost 94% over those two years. So usage only tells you the thing is real. For the bubble question I look at what people pay for the earnings. Cisco was over 100x forward at the 2000 top, Nvidia is under 20x right now. Same thing with the crypto half of your post by the way. Nobody uses gold day to day either and that never made gold a bubble.

  The top 10 companies that crashed in 2000: Cisco, Microsoft, Intel, Lucent, JDS Uniphase, WorldCom, AOL Time Warner. While the internet and computers did become really big, the market was wrong about every one of these companies except Microsoft, and there was plenty of opportunity to buy it after the crash at a much lower price. (Intel and Cisco are still around as major companies too, but they were extremely overpriced then compared to what they are worth now. Terrible investments even if you had a very long time horizon.) Amazon was considered a minor company (and it crashed big time), Apple was considered a minor has-been company (and it crashed big time), Google wasn't a public company yet, and Facebook didn't even exist. So the point of this is to not believe the market hype about which companies are going to benefit in the long run from AI.

  @bennyjohnson Such an easy fix.. nuke the internet. Life was WAY better before AOL came along.
