MIT released a devastating number.
95% of all corporate AI projects are failing.
Because nobody knows how to install it.
@mcuban says this is the biggest job opportunity since the personal computer.
Cuban built his first fortune doing one thing:
Walking into offices in the 1980s and showing people who had never touched a computer how to use one.
He says the exact same thing is happening right now with AI.
Except the gap is even bigger.
There are 33 million companies in the United States.
30 million of them are one person operations.
Millions more have under 500 employees.
No AI budget, team or strategy in place and they are completely in the dark.
MIT looked at generative AI inside big companies and the numbers are insane.
Most have AI initiatives and run pilots.
Almost all fail to deliver real business results.
Because nobody knows how to wire them into actual workflows.
Cuban’s advice to his own kids, ages 15, 19, and 21: Learn to implement AI,
Walk into a shoe store , law firm or a trucking company.
Show them exactly what AI does for their specific business.
That is the big opportunity now.
Morgan Stanley just FIRED 2,500 people.
Not because the company is struggling.
They posted record revenue last year, $70.6 billion, and it was their best year ever.
But they fired them anyway.
Investment banking, wealth management, front office, back office and across all divisions.
The CEO of Anthropic, the company building one of the most powerful AI systems on Earth, went on national television and said AI will wipe out 50% of entry-level white collar jobs.
Entry-level law, finance and consulting.
The exact jobs Morgan Stanley just cut.
Last week, Jack Dorsey laid off 4,000 people at Block.
Nearly half the company and his reason? AI tools make humans unnecessary.
He said most companies will reach the same conclusion within a year.
Morgan Stanley's own research team surveyed nearly 1,000 companies already using AI.
They found an 11% job elimination rate, a 4% net headcount decline, and productivity up 11.5%.
The machines are cheaper, faster and they don't need health insurance.
Morgan Stanley itself predicted 200,000 European banking jobs will disappear in five years.
And then they started cutting their own.
Record profits, record layoffs while AI gets the credit and workers get the door.
The man building the technology is telling you it's coming.
The banks using the technology are proving it.
And yet no one in Washington has a plan.

"My biggest worry is... the perception of technology in America."
Ben Horowitz on why optimism about AI is critical:
"Over 70% of people in China are optimistic about AI. And less than 30% in America or something like that were optimistic about AI."
"We're very focused on the dangers of AI here and not on the positive things."
"We're going to... end traffic deaths. We're going to cure cancer. We're going to end poverty as we know it."
"Those are pretty good things."
"The positive uses of the technology are extremely positive. The negative ones are there, but we can manage them, in the same way we've managed the negative of every technology."
"Starting with fire, which has very bad consequences — it can burn down your village... but it also heats your house, and cooks your food, and does some very wonderful things."

🚨 FigureAI just shared a new video of its humanoid bot using the Helix walking controller.
Trained with reinforcement learning, it’s walking blind (no cameras) and hitting superhuman levels in some areas.

It’s going to come to a point very soon where people will refuse to be driven around by a human because it’ll be less safe, and will only prefer being driven by a fully autonomous vehicle.

David Friedberg: “ I believe 100% in ending the federal student loan program.”
“I think that it will force a restructuring of the higher education system in the United States, which no one wants to hear, no one wants to do, and everyone is against.”
“But I think it is the only path forward.”
“I think this is one of the top three most important issues we should be discussing right now.”
“We have to get rid of the federal student loan program, and we have to force a rightsizing of higher education, and a restructuring of higher education, such that the access to education becomes more ubiquitous.”
“It's not this $300,000 debt load that everyone is forced to take on.”

🚨J-Cal on the Broken American Dream: “Boomers have absolutely f*cked these couple of generations.”
“If you look at the cost of homes, the cost of education, the big problem in the US is wages have not grown except for people who have a lot of money already.”
“If you wanted to start a family and you're in $100K in debt for your student loans, and homes have doubled, tripled, quadrupled in price when compared to your income, and we don't have real wage growth, that's an issue.”
“And I think this will become the issue of the next election. We see Mamdani and the socialist movement.”
“If you really want to make a compelling argument for the next election cycle, I think it's real wage growth.”
“And if you look at minimum wage and this disparity between what top earners make and where minimum wage is in the United States versus other developed countries, there is a real argument here, even though we might all be free market individuals.”
“This came out of New York this week. Slow gains in jobs in NYC for the first half of 2025. This is New York City. We clearly have some issues with jobs here, and young people are clearly having a problem.”
“We're talking here about the American dream.”
“Is it broken for these next generations? Low wages, high debt, no ability to buy a home.”

A year after @Backcountry started slapping a goat on its own gear, the e-tailer is claiming the word 'backcountry,' suing small business owners & petitioning trademarks. Bullying or just business? Can a company own 'surf,' 'mountain', 'beach,' 'trail?' coloradosun.com/2019/10/31/b…

If this photo isn't enough to convince you to visit #PearlLakeStatePark in the north, we don't know what is. Nestled in the mountains near Steamboat Springs, this peaceful park sits in a serene lakeside setting.
