  I like that you can ask AI for video game cheat codes and if a guy ever gets ***** or not. It makes me feel like a child on AOL again. Looking up gamefaqs while saying SlipknotFan42 has never kissed a girl French style

  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.

  People prefer to pay flat rates than metered. In today's age, you can give an agent monthly budget (flat rate) and not have to worry about how many micropayments it makes for products/services. Excerpt from "Case Against Micropayments": "What was the biggest complaint of AOL users? Not the widely mocked and irritating blue bar that appeared when members downloaded information. Not the frequent unsolicited junk e-mail. Not dropped connections. Their overwhelming gripe: the ticking clock. Users didn’t want to pay by the hour anymore. ... Case had heard from one AOL member who insisted that she was being cheated by AOL’s hourly rate pricing. When he checked her average monthly usage, he found that she would be paying AOL more under the flat-rate price of $19.95. When Case informed the user of that fact, her reaction was immediate. ‘I don’t care,’ she told an incredulous Case. ’I am being cheated by you.’"

  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.

  1.) Buy company 2.) Leadership, strategy and priorities change based on market changes because market is not static 3.) Have bad takes about this written on twitter WB went from independent studio to Time Warner to AOL Time Warner to ATT to Discovery to the Ellisons. These things happen in business because the market changes.

  None of them have ever rung me. I got to the MSN point, adding people. I never got to the AOL AIM level they were all on. No one would share the lists with me.

  @NotTheExpertYT @neon_everest You guys don’t understand how **** works at all. A great example is the internet itself. Back early on the internet was free. Remember AOL? They gave it away to get you hooked. Once you were they started charging for it. Now it’s just another utility. Same with games. They gave them away to get you hooked. Now they gotta turn that into cash by charging you for everything. It’s the silicone valley model of doing business.
