  As the numbers kept falling... Another problem was unfolding inside AOL Time Warner. The merger had combined two companies with entirely different cultures. Many of the original Time Warner executives saw AOL as an overvalued internet company whose success had been built on a stock market bubble. AOL executives believed Time Warner executives simply didn't understand the future. Instead of building one company... The two sides spent years pulling in different directions.

  @AntiEVidiots When EVs were niche, driving one was like being part of a community with a shared secret. Similar to being on the internet in the early 1990s, before the AOL hordes turned up with their poor netiquette.

  The internet enabled "connectivity". All these isolated pockets of information and communities and people always existed before, but being able to connect them together with the internet was what created the huge marginal value. I think the gains falls into 3 general buckets: 1) Connecting/Aggregating supply and demand. People have way more choices now from both supply and demand side - Amazon, Facebook (for human interests/social communities) 2) Efficiency gains from better coordination - Amazon 2 Day Delivery. 3) Frictionless instant distribution - Netflix streaming movies into your home Everyone has been talking about who extracts the most value from the AI stack, and if you look at the internet it's undoubtedly the applications that did. The rest of the stack essentially became commoditized. So let's get back to AI. In the same vein, i think AI enables "intelligence". Before this if you wanted to build a website, you had to hire someone who had the "intelligence" or gain the "intelligence" yourself to build it. Now you just ask AI and it does it for you. Intelligence/Execution is now cheap. Everyone has an intelligent PHD who knows a little of everything working for them on their computer now. OpenAI/Anthropic doesn't feel too different than say AOL back in the day when it was the only way consumers could access the internet. Eventually people had alternatives and it went away although for the internet providers, AOL didn't necessarily provide "better" internet than its competitors but the frontier AI models could potentially. AI Chips/Hardware now don't seem too dissimilar to how modems/routers/optic cables were for the internet. It'll still be short squeezed in the short term, but we'll eventually get more alternatives and supply. Energy/infrastructure - Eventually ppl will build data centers in the middle of nowhere with energy supply and it'll be fine. There will be alternatives. So i think eventually all the value will accrue to the application layer as everything else gets commoditized? But what would those applications look like? One thought experiment would be to consider which companies/products couldn't exist without the internet. Everyone in FAANG could be considered here, so maybe the trick is to find companies that couldn't exist without AI? Walmart would still exist without the internet, but not Amazon. Amazon figured out how to give itself an unfair advantage with the internet. Google obviously couldn't exist without the internet. So what are the similar parallels for AI? Maybe something like Harvey? What could i do with AI that i couldn't before (besides coding?). Most things still just feel like marginal efficiency gains (besides coding), instead of completely newly unlocked capabilities. I could imagine like a personal AI health assistant that will give you the vitamins or cook personalized meals (via contractor) you need everyday based on your data. Or maybe like an AI home system that helps you schedule for maintenance/repairs without you needing to think about it? Perhaps the internet solved the distribution problem, so the bet should just be on companies who already have a lock on distribution like $CRM and bet that they'll figure AI out. But perhaps we still need more time for AI to play out to identify these potential long term winners. We still don't really know what we can actually do with AI yet

  @MuseumCommodore 17 for me. Never used a TAC-2. I am too young to have seen a C64 running in a store. But I have left things like the 10-print maze running on a C64 I found in use at a daycare. I sadly missed QuantumLink. I called the 800 number once, and an AOL rep answered.

  @thorMjolniro It turned out AOL never said that. MB checked it out. AND it turned out to be false. Because I do think she is stupid I believed it and did not check it with grok.
