  My father in law (86) tried to send an email for the first time in a while (his words). His AOL email stopped working. I had to explain that it was a service and he probably stopped it a long time ago.

  @joangreeneaz @AOC It must have been a terrible experience for AOL! She knew about this a week before. Did she tell Pelosi? Why not? Pelosi had 6 messages regarding the riot. Did she stop the police from acting? She was the final word. Did she stop the police, guard etc from protecting the capital

  Earlier, AOL tried to give me a fake message, i.e., "this email has been deactivated due to inactivity." It wasn't deactivated after multiple attempts. AOL, every email service, & every business humans use to communicate with one another, has a responsibility not to participate.

  @dampheil @kleeposting AOL probably did the biggest initial damage to internet culture by mailing CDs to every cow-eyed ******* in America. Inviting America to the Online was a huge mistake.

  Should we need to pay for email? In 2006, AOL and Yahoo announced priority delivery for senders willing to pay somewhere around a penny per message, with the promise that those messages would bypass the spam filter. The diagnosis behind it was correct. Email often breaks because sending is free, and when volume costs nothing, volume becomes the strategy (hello AI outbound!). Everything built afterward (filters, blocklists, sender reputation scores) is an attempt to patch a problem that is fundamentally about economics, and not about technology. Today, the same dynamic plays out on a much larger surface. AI agents can complete forms, take surveys, open accounts, and browse sites at a scale that would have been unimaginable for a spam operation twenty years ago, and most of that activity still registers in company dashboards as ordinary human demand. What I find most encouraging about Proof of Human is that this doesn't require the previous tradeoff. There's no toll, no puzzle, and nothing for a genuine visitor to notice or solve, because verification runs continuously in the background across the whole session rather than at a single checkpoint. When a decision does get made, there's a record behind it that a team can actually inspect, rather than an opaque score they're asked to trust. The email industry spent two decades learning that you can't tax your way to trust, and that authentication works better than obstruction. That lesson is worth carrying into whatever comes next.
