  AOL had spent years building the perfect internet company for the dial-up era. But the world moved on from it Consumers discovered that broadband was faster, and free to access ...and unlike AOL, it didn’t tie up the telephone lines Suddenly, paying $20/month for AOL's internet access and curated content made less sense when broadband offered a faster, more limitless web. AOL's subscriber base fell from 26.7 million at its peak to roughly 10 million by 2007. This was its second major revenue stream And it was down 62%. How could this company take Time Warner into the future they hoped for?

  @pizzahut I really don’t know how a powerhouse corporation loses its standing. Cutting costs on supplies, overextending locations, hiring a new ad company, promotional programs that managers can’t really work- but Pizza Hut is following the pathway of Toys R Us, Blockbuster and AOL. I’m going to avoid my usual florid word choices and just tell you, I paid almost $70.00 for a recent delivery. It was 45 minutes late. The Food was room temperature. 2 Cold drinks were missing. And a dessert item was doubled. BTW can anyone tell me what a delivery cost is? And why would the drivers tip default to 18%? Tips are to insure promptness. It didn’t work this time. The driver was not really an employee, she was hired on by another company and could offer no explanation except - “This is what they gave me.” Along with, “Sorry it’s late.” And, “You can go on the website and let them know”. Going back on that wonky website is the last thing I wanted to do, I’d almost rather eat room temperature food and apologize to my buddies for the poor culinary turn out. I called the store, but no one would talk to me ( it just rang ) so here I am letting all you fine people in cyber space know about it. A loss of quality control is sometimes accidental, but I also think it’s because the employees really don’t care. I’d guess further that the employees don’t care because they think their bosses don’t care.

  @lili_poobear @Phantom_King_99 @gizalovespizza Ok, look, you can probably find a half dozen slightly different definitions of the word "evolve" online (we both know you didn't use a dead-tree dictionary). But the fact remains, to not evolve is to stagnate. Even the definition you gave, if converted the boolean opposite, would say, "to NOT develop gradually, especially from a simple to a more complex form", and you could then argue that OP wants it to get more complex, but RAPIDLY rather than SLOWLY. The point is technology should always advance. Just because you're unhappy with some specific implementation of technology in the present, doesn't mean that "advance" will mean "things get worse". It's pretty childish to take that position, in fact. I mean, for ****'s sake, you're ON THE INTERNET right now, probably using either wireless broadband, or wired broadband access to post this message. Can you imagine sitting in at your computer desk, with the monitor riser and built-in CD-ROM storage slots, dialing into AOL in about 1996 and saying, "GAH! I don't want technology to evolve any more. I'm tired of sitting here waiting for JPGs of John Stamos to take 40 seconds to load. I'm tired of getting my directions from Mapquest!"

  @signorina37H 56k was blazing fast. I was an AOL customer beefier they went public with a 14.4k modem in a 486-66 machine and a whopping 8 MB RAM.

  @LiveLawIndia SC made an Himalayan effort to ensure 'Art of living' (AOL) is bailed out brushing aside concerns of environmental groups. SC says river Bank was already damaged in part. If that be so would 'AOL' have any business to damage it further. If AOL knew the damage,why use the site?

  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

  @cheesecakefd I've done this thru forums and Yahoo and AOL back in the day, but never really connected all he way with anyone on the new advertisement-funded social media. Oh well.
