  @nmlinguaphile mapquest! The Hammacher Schlemmer of online maps and connectivity! Are they still accepting 1,000 hours free dial up cdrom from AOL? If I were in corporate meeting: Should we do this? Me: Nobody gives a ****. Do what you want. Let's ignore them so they can die in peace.

  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

  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.

  @_tinatruth Steve Bartlett explained financial bubbles in one minute. The AOL–Time Warner story is a powerful reminder that HIGH VALUATION IS NOT THE SAME AS REAL VALUE. It reminded me of something I wrote on August 17 on my post 👇 A GREAT ASSET doesn’t automatically make a GREAT INVESTMENT. Pay too much, and your returns can suffer. Allocate too much capital, and one mistake can damage your entire portfolio. That’s why I believe good investing isn’t just about choosing the right asset. It’s about paying the RIGHT PRICE and sizing your position wisely. The AOL–Time Warner story didn’t teach me that lesson. It reinforced it. If you haven’t read my August 17 post yet, I think it adds another perspective to this conversation. 👇

  @Google requiring you to scan a QR code on your own phone to login is probably the least helpful technology in existence. Yes, it gives you “other options” though those rarely work without you doing it 5-6 times. They need to fix that or YMail or AOL is beginning to sound better.

  @neetintel @CommunityNotes If Emergency Action Messages aren't used for emergencies what does the military use then? AOL Instant Messenger?
