Mark Cuban told people that television would eventually be delivered over the internet. Everybody thought he was an idiot. Now, Cuban is making another prediction that runs counter to what we all…
What was the first one that looked wrong for years before people realized it was right?
I mean, if you can go back to 1994, 1995, when the internet was just getting started, and I tried to tell people, "Well, okay, you've got these PCs and you're gonna connect to the internet.
If you don't know what the internet is, a big old connectivity between millions, hundreds of millions of PCs.
And at one point, you're gonna start listening to things like you do on the radio, and not long after that, you're gonna be watching things like you do on TV.
And don't be surprised if streaming," or we called it internet broadcasting back then, "replaces what we know as TV today." And everybody just thought I was an idiot, that there was no chance.
Looking ahead, is there anything you see now that is similar to that, that you're seeing far ahead of us that other people aren't seeing?
seeing?I think everybody sees AI as an impactful technology and, and it will be the most impactful technology, but nobody's truly able to predict it.
We hear all these doomers talking about 50% of people are gonna lose their jobs or, you know, entry-level positions, white collar positions.
And the question and the challenge is trying to determine how to use AI now, as an individual, as an employee, as a human, as an employer, as an entrepreneur.
And starting from the perspective as an entrepreneur, this is the most amazing time to start a business ever.
Where I used to have to sit in a bookstore and, like, buy or just read books in the aisles of how to start a business or, you know, a workbook on how to put together a business plan.
What used to be something that you just didn't have enough time or understanding to do, now you can do in seconds, and it's a great equalizer.
And I think it is also a great democratizer of education, and I think that's something people don't fully understand.
A lot of people are rightfully afraid of AI because there's so much uncertainty attached to it.
But effectively, for better or worse, it gives you access to every book, every library, the equivalent of every professor, every expert.
