  Did you feel that? (@Auroreanowl) reported 5 minutes ago from Boise, Idaho

  PSA: If you're reviewing grants on the Zoom Grants platform? It's useful to not bother sleeping and login while others slumber. Slower than AOL circa 1995, or whenever that was.

  @Jawabreaker OoT created Z-targerting that EVERY game followed since. It might have been an updated LttP but it innovated the game in so many ways that I can't agree with overrated Yes, LoZ and AoL is so decisive. It does come down to preference. But I give the nod to LoZ for creating it all

  @MarinaMedvin All this is aol Ed by simply leaving nato and let the eurozone deal with their own problems. I hear France can sortie a flotilla with carrier at least for a few weeks. And the UK only needs a couple of months to get one destroyer ready for sea. win win. Imagine all the lolz

  I said it again and again and again: the current LLMs are equivalent to the dialup of dotcom era. Back then we were effectively paying a software license for AOL. Today, the idea of paying to use the Internet is absolutely absurd. My gut tells me there’s a place for the frontier models. But I don’t see it being in the hands of every consumer when the technology is essentially a commodity. I think the frontier models have a legitimate business that’s going to be much smaller than the market currently prices them at. I also see people totally misunderstand the value proposition for AI. Neither OpenAI nor Anthropic are needed to sustain the AI boom. At worst there’s an air gap. Doesn’t matter if it’s open source or not—same compute is needed. And if the models aren’t as good, then ChatGPT and Claude are needed.

  AOL-Time Warner was the dot-com era’s worst mistake, but PlayStation's war on user ownership is gaming's equivalent: a colossal waste vaporizing trust for control, proving that destroying consumer rights is just a brain-dead business model that burns investors every time 🤦

  @desthia2 This is the bottleneck problem AI is experiencing right now. It is like when AOL charge by the minute, then someone said unlimited internet. We need quantum computing to have a break though or enough data centers to handle. Selling compute capacity to other AI companies has screwed their own customers.

  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.

  @a_g_haubner A solution to what? What do you want a WNBA commissioner to do about online trolls? That's been a thing since AOL and it's usually just immature people just trolling. Do you thinks trolls would listen to Cathy?

  $ASTS 🚀 The biggest opportunity in space isn’t rockets. It’s the infrastructure being built around them. Think back to the early days of the internet. Most investors focused on companies people could see—Yahoo, AOL, Google. But behind every website was an invisible network of fiber optic cables, servers, networking equipment and data centers. Without that infrastructure, there would be no internet. Space is beginning to follow the same blueprint. Imagine a brand-new city. Nobody builds shopping malls first. Nobody opens restaurants before roads exist. First come the highways. Then electricity. Water pipes. Communication networks. Only after the foundation is complete do businesses move in. Space works the same way. Satellites are becoming the roads and communication networks above Earth. Every successful launch adds another piece of infrastructure that governments and businesses may depend on for the next 10-15 years. 🚀 Rocket Lab $RKLB builds the transportation system. Think of it like a construction company building highways before cars can drive on them. Without reliable launches, nothing else reaches orbit. Now, by acquiring Iridium, Rocket Lab isn’t just building the highway—it also owns part of the communication network already operating on it, creating recurring revenue beyond launches. 📡 AST SpaceMobile $ASTS is solving one of the biggest communication problems on Earth. Imagine you’re hiking on a mountain, sailing across the Pacific, or driving through the Australian Outback. Normally your phone becomes useless. AST wants your existing smartphone to connect directly to satellites without changing your phone or installing new equipment. If successful, billions of phones instantly become part of a global satellite network. 🌍 Planet Labs $PL doesn’t sell rockets or internet. It sells information. Imagine a farmer managing 100,000 acres. Instead of driving across every field, satellites tell him exactly where crops need water or fertilizer. Insurance companies can estimate hurricane damage within hours instead of weeks. Governments monitor borders. Military agencies track activity. The product isn’t the satellite. The product is the data. That’s recurring revenue. The exciting part isn’t today’s launches. It’s what those satellites unlock tomorrow. AI. Defense. Autonomous vehicles. Global internet. Weather forecasting. Navigation. Financial markets. Precision agriculture. Entire industries that don’t even exist yet. Twenty years ago, cloud computing looked expensive and unnecessary. Today almost every business runs on it. Tomorrow, satellites may quietly become just as essential. Sometimes the greatest investment isn’t the company everyone notices. It’s the company building the invisible infrastructure that everyone else eventually depends on. 🚀

  @goingforbrooke but when everyone in the US had aim (bc aol was so popular as an isp), everyone in europe + latam had msn messenger (because hotmail was so popular as free email with free storage, when your isp email had no storage and would change if you changed isps). so also network effects.

  LISTSERV Was The Place To Be In 1993! Just after dial up BBSs and just before USENET my X-like place where I went “viral” was LISTSERV. I was on over 1000 active lists. I of course was on forums on CompuServe and AOL, but LISTERV was push and not pull. It was magic! I would write there like I posted here today. There was zero spam and the highest IQs in the world just a list email away. In my Eudora archives (the best email client ever made) I have saved the results of all my lists saved. Before my tape find, I was happy I saved the Eudora in zipped PKG files. One LISTSERV I was on had 1000s of subscribers and it is where I learned of so many things months before it was news. In the 1990s I wrote the first known AI (expert system) for email, to produce a morning “Newspaper” digest I would actually have automatically printed out to read at breakfast. The AI would have knowledge of what I wanted and produced the summaries and headlines. It went viral on some of my lists I was on and it used Eudora mailbox files to access the data. Many like minded geeks like me used the software and one made a LISTSERV out of his output as a meta way to use what he called THE ULTIMATE NEWS LISTSERV. Since posting on my tapes yesterday two folks reached out to me to share their archives! I am not sure if there is overlap, but anyone with data like this, please let me know! Folks we have a mother-load here and I know we will find new data perhaps not seen since it bounced though LISTSERV. Your support made this happen. Thank you.
