  @dark_coderz Stay living with mom and dad, Work for 6 months, put all the salary/pay into Amazon Intel Nvidia and Google stock as it comes available. Stay away from Netscape entirely. Buy AOL and hold it for 1-2 years then sell all. Likewise with Yahoo Beyond that, Dont sell - ever. Just let it ride Avoid the military - great experience but bad things on the near horizon

  @qlypai For @twigl_it I don't think of it as a wrapper around a frontier model, but I guess you could say that. In my view, all frontier models will follow the path of AOL. It's moving rapidly along the same trajectory. AOL mail, chat were all massively popular; AOL's valuation went to the moon, etc. But then dedicated tools came in, and against the single focus, AOL couldn't compete. Once SpaceX launches space-based datacenters along with Starlink, the game will be up. My bet is that the harness is where the value is at. I have really zero loyalty to a particular model; I just want the highest raw intelligence with the ability to throttle down for work that doesn't need it. It's not even clear to me what Anthropic or OpenAI think is actually going to happen. I am sure they can see from their own metrics that like 95% of users are just using it as a glorified search engine. The mass does not care at all about the companies and will use whatever is best and free (i.e., ad-supported). In the long run, Google will likely win. So a true wrapper, like simply putting the API with a bit of context, will become irrelevant to higher levels of intelligence, but I don't think the frontier models can ever win against a superior harness on a really specific proprietary data pool. I am betting that people would rather have more control over their own data, be able to better direct context, and be able to use the best-performing self-healing skills with tools with the most intelligent model that is out there.

  @GrowingUpRetro I did not use them all. Never used AOL and never slept on a waterbed.

  Been going down a Luca Ferrari rabbit hole and honestly the guy might be running one of the smartest plays in tech right now. while everyone's out here trying to build the next big thing, he's just buying the old ones. Evernote, WeTransfer, Vimeo, Meetup, AOL. products people still love but that got bloated and neglected. bending spoons scoops them up cheap because everyone assumes they're dead. they're not, they're just badly run. and then the fun part. they move everything to italy, strip the company way down, hand the code to a bunch of young engineers who ship like crazy, and reprice the product to what it's actually worth. evernote got 75 updates in a year after basically going quiet. nobody's on call, everyone's just a "software engineer," salaries are flat. someone described it as private equity having a baby with google which is perfect. the numbers are kind of insane too. revenue per employee went from about $1.1m to $2.6m in two years, and they just IPO'd north of $18b and popped 40% on the first day. the takeaway that stuck with me: you don't have to invent the thing. you can just take something great that someone else fumbled and actually run it well. everyone's obsessed with zero to one and he's quietly getting rich on one to n.

  @xwanyex Yes. Very much this. I remember my first post-college job in mid/late 90s, bored between faxes I was sending for my boss at a large non profit (kids this is all true and not satire.) On ICQ, pre AOL acquisition, I was chatting w someone in Tasmania (a pilot, he claimed) and another person, a professor from South UK, who told me to listen to Rodrigo. This was still before you could send graphic files so everyone was an avatar and words unless you put a photograph in an envelope and mailed it. I ended up writing a novel when a startup I’d just joined closed in mid 2000, about how relationships and communication would and have changed in this new texting world. Never published it because “some people did some things” in 2001 and agents only wanted non fiction, and then I lost the drive. Thank you for coming to my TED walk down memory lane.

  When is this country going to stop the monopoly of the internet giants who control the access & content of emails. Google shut down my access, refused payment, yahoo denied access, now AOL denied access. Google, Blackrock, Microsoft, ramped up their efforts to control us.

  @LGarretson66717 Ohh I never heard of that unfortunately. Once aol started going down and FB started to rise ask Insta it just scattered but Twitter or x. Then you got into it a bit but had to file around

  One of the biggest problems with old tech like @AOL is that they starved their engineers of creativity. too much legal reviews. never ending bureaucracy. now a lot of those engineers are laid off and entering a world that's changed dramatically.
