  I'm going to call about this in the morning... The man survived the attack, but it doesn't feel like they're doing enough to find out who committed this crime. Instead, they are already painting a picture with unconfirmed sources saying that he said something inappropriate to someone's girlfriend. When I asked AI to tell me where this information came from, it could only refer to an AOL article, and then the replication of this unconfirmed sources narrative with subsequent publications... Basically, it's a bunch of bullshit that people kept replicating. It's wild to see the level of trauma this man experienced, and for the immediate narrative to be spun that he is the perpetrator. That is what is disturbing me the most about this case... Both of his eyes begin to swell shut, and blood was squirting out the side of his neck. That is an extremely violent beating in the middle of broad daylight... It is literally an attempted murder. Anytime a weapon is used to impale a location such as the neck, it is a felony offense and the person's image needs to be shared immediately. Hundreds of people witnessed this in broad daylight. There should have already been a press conference to calm the public. Why is no one trying to reassure the public that they're safe? How can they be safe if no one knows the identity of a crazy murderous maniac roaming the streets? These are just some of the thoughts that are probably going through some of the people's heads that were traumatized by this event. I genuinely feel for them. I'm happy this man survived and didn't bleed out... It was the awareness of applying the pressure that probably saved his life. Had he been unconscious and without help, he probably would have died from bleeding out right there on the ground. I'll definitely be following up on this story...

  @ThrillaRilla369 I was a mainframe systems programmer, I did not 'surf the web' back in the day, terribly insecure (worse now). I used IBMLink my entire career. We used arapnet, other early networks to research data at Berkley, UCLA, JPL. Mainframes are secure, always have been. When PC's, the web for everyone, AOL came out, we laughed and stayed with secure connections. We had email on the mainframe, profs (under VM) for word processing, long before the public knew what those things were. There is no security out in this non-ethernet world now! Https means nothing. Data mining is to be expected and reading terms and conditions should have intelligent people running from certain apps. I have never had a FB presence, nor will I. I constantly ask anyone around me, family, churches, friends, who pressure me for one app or another, "did you read their terms and conditions?" I know, Thrilla, you wanted cute answers. I'm supplying truth. X is my only social media and my husband had to talk me into it. Now, I'm a posting, replying, liking, following fool! But I won't download any other.

  @burkov my 70+ year old mother in law. its her AI. all her searches, ideas, projects, tech help, questions. I don’t use it now, but I simply introduce her to the app. Reminds me of AOL at the dawn of the internet.

  @RealJamesWoods So true, but I’ll tell you they’ve got me. I’m a hook, line, and sinker Apple guy. Why easy their product was amazing from the start, and on top of that they kept the architecture and framework the same similar to AOL! I’m waiting for the next Apple like most of us until then. Yeah I don’t want android it sucks. There’s too many variations. Apple is Apple. Let’s go Tesla phone! Or the next brilliant mind let’s get it done; we’re already!!

  @gordie_smith Eventbrite was a horrible public company. AOL is an ice cube. You can make really good money buying them cheap and running them off (or turning them around), but it works way better in private markets w 5-10 year horizons. Most of the companies that do this well (that I’m aware of) are privately held. Opentext would be an example of a public one. Super low multiples, pretty crappy performance (although did well early on when it was smaller). I wish them a ton of luck, but I just expect over a multi-year horizon, the market will decide it hates the stock even if they make good decisions and create value.

  Different decade, same math: half the S&P 500 is priced at levels that a dot-com CEO called proof of investor insanity while watching his company crater 90%. The rotation at the top: In early 2000, the ten most valuable S&P 500 companies read like a monument to permanent dominance: Microsoft, General Electric, Cisco, Walmart, ExxonMobil, Intel, Lucent, IBM, Citigroup, AOL. A generation later, only Microsoft remains. GE was carved into three separate companies. Lucent was absorbed by Nokia. AOL became the cautionary tale attached to the worst merger in corporate history. Cisco and Intel spent 25 years climbing back to their dot-com peaks. Citigroup, IBM, Walmart, and ExxonMobil still exist, but none crack the top ten. The new top ten is Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and the AI infrastructure complex. Investors in 2000 were also certain they were buying the future's permanent giants. The data says most of today's winners won't be in the top ten a generation from now either, and there is no mechanism by which you find out which ones survive in advance. The valuation problem: In 2002, after Sun Microsystems collapsed 90%, CEO Scott McNealy explained to investors exactly what a 10x sales multiple actually demands: 100% of revenues paid as dividends for ten consecutive years, with zero costs, zero R&D, zero taxes, and zero employees. He was describing the math of the price investors had paid for his stock as a form of collective psychosis. Today, 51% of the S&P 500 by market cap trades above 10x sales. Half the index. The AI narrative is functioning as the dot-com narrative functioned: a story compelling enough to make the math feel optional. The math has never been optional.

  @GergelyOrosz @PythiaR Never thought that the ScaleAI transaction would work out as a reverse takeover. Echoes of AOL acquiring Time Warner.
