just realized this is so bearish for AI girlfriends right now, this dude would have had access to the best...
if you're building smth, me and all my homies already separately and independently built 4-dimensional hyperfoundry solutions that makes every possible different kind of that thing already. we already on to the next thing.
hmu if you wanted it, kinda taking up space atp
that feeling when the MX master's battery is kaput and won't hold a charge and it only works while plugged in
we didn't spend enough time marveling at AI's ability to handle like "hey what's the word for...?" or "hey, give {that unique thing or situation} a name"
it's insane at this today and it was decent early on too
humans were always uniquely good pattern recognizers. the pattern continued, and itself became a pattern of exercising good pattern recognition, and now we're at the higher order result of that. nowadays we're mostly recognizing pattern patterns, and so on.
people everywhere are primed and ready to sink thousands of hours into their Something over the next year
it’s lock in season right now

Mark Cuban's advice for young people boils down to "there's gonna be two types of companies: those who are great at AI and those who have gone out of business."
"And then there's two types of people in how they use AI: those who use AI to learn anything, and those who use AI so they don't have to learn anything."
"And if you're one of those people who uses AI so that you can learn anything, and you realize what type of companies and problems aren't being solved by AI, don't be shy to just talk to your AI."
"And I say this not just to kids, but to 50 60, 70-year-old entrepreneurs. The biggest challenge right now with entrepreneurs using AI is the comfort level of talking to your AI... there's still a lot of hesitancy."
"Just like back in the day, those first spreadsheets, people still had their 10-key adding machine, and they would check it to make sure the spreadsheets were right."
"So when you ask me, is there one thing I truly believe, it's everything. Everything will change. This is the greatest transitional technology we have ever seen, and I've been around for all of them, right? This blows them all away."

Mark Cuban scaled Cost Plus Drugs from about 100 generics to roughly 4,000 at a flat 15% markup, forcing incumbents to change prices in ways decades of policy never did.
He thinks AI could transform healthcare, but it won't fix opaque prices and broken incentives on its own.
Mark sits down with a16z's Julie Yoo and Erik Torenberg to discuss what he's learned building Cost Plus Drugs, why trust is its core product, and how greater transparency could put pressure on healthcare costs.
They also explore why drugs designed for your DNA could cost close to nothing, the football field-sized drug plant his team shrank into tractor trailer-sized pods, his plan to make generics in Dallas for less than he pays manufacturers in India, and why every company will either be great at AI or go out of business.

31:45 Nonprofit hospitals must offer aid
35:55 DNA-matched drugs for near $0
39:30 Why AI will mean more doctors
48:00 Mark's plan: "bye bye insurers"
52:25 Why AI labs' ads are useless
56:35 Get good at AI or go out of business

still so crazy to me that OpenAI lets you keep using your quota a little past 100% utilization, meanwhile Anthropic pinches your ear at 99% and drop kicks you from behind if you hit 100%
