I just read that AI.com was bought by OpenAI for $11 million last year making it the most expensive domain sold in 2023.

Just amazed at how much a domain you register can make you.

Two character dot com which is also the abbreviation of a whole new technology, someone had the right idea registering that one.

Any dot com under 4 characters was taken very early on in the dot com bubble era. Some people had the right idea right at the start. Even god single word dot coms were taken very early on. Some saw domains as a great opportunity to make big money others wrote off the whole internet idea to their surprise later on.

AI was not a buzz word in 1993 that is amazing how the domain became so sought after now
