Mark Cuban just described the largest wealth transfer of the AI era.

Almost nobody understood what he said.

Cuban: “There are 33 million companies in this country. Aren’t going to have AI budgets. Aren’t going to have AI experts.”

Not tech startups.

The shoe store. The regional trucking outfit. The accounting firm with 12 employees.

The businesses that actually run the physical economy.

They know AI is coming. They have no idea what to do with it.

Cuban: “You’ve got the head of Microsoft saying software is dead because everything’s going to be customized to your unique utilization.”

Software is dead.

The SaaS era ran on one rule. Build a generic product. Force millions of companies to bend their workflows around it. Charge rent forever.

AI ends the contract.

The business stops bending to the software. The intelligence bends to the business.

But customized by whom.

The third-generation manufacturer cannot tell Claude from Gemini. The county hospital is staring at a reactor asking where the light switch is.

Cuban: “Who’s going to do it for them?”

That question is worth more than the frontier models themselves.

Hundreds of billions are being burned to build the foundation. The smartest engineers alive are locked in a bloodbath over who owns the base layer.

Let them fight.

Let them burn the capital. Let them drive the cost of raw intelligence toward zero.

Because the wealth does not collect where the brain is built.

It collects where the brain meets the business.

Every ambitious kid in college right now thinks survival means a seat at OpenAI or Anthropic.

Cuban is staring at the other 99 percent of the economy.

Learn the models. Then learn the messy, unglamorous reality of how a 50-person company actually operates.

Walk through the door. Understand their problems. Wire the intelligence directly into their revenue.

That is not a job title. That is an entire economic class being born.

You do not need to build the brain. You need to build the nervous system.

The biggest winners of the electricity era were not the engineers who built the generators. They were the ones who walked into dark factories and showed the owners where to plug in.

33 million companies are standing in the dark right now.

Silicon Valley is racing to build the god. The fortunes will belong to whoever teaches him a trade.

@bftcpa @Matt_Pinner Same, lol. I was pretty distracted my freshman year in High School

@AmericanAir why are your people going out of their way to help a woman sitting in a bulkhead to find space on an E170 and then making me shove my large backpack under my feet after I checked my suitcase ? Your guys answer, buy a higher class of service

@LibertyMinded13 @SenatorRisch You might want to end the filibuster now, but you won’t when the other side gets in control. Government needs to compromise! Frankly I think having to get 60% of the people on board with something is a good thing otherwise we just vacillate between extremes.

Been using @boomerang https://t.co/35bLHqHSyQ to schedule messages in Outlook or make emails go away until I'm ready. Highly recommended.

@MarcGravely are you related to

@businesspipelin I know those ladies :-)

[Better Idea Group @BetterIdeaGroup]

@Delta Thanks for bringing back the Delta girl who used to star in the in flight safety videos! I especially liked the gleam in her eye

[Better Idea Group @BetterIdeaGroup]

@Spotycus @elonmusk Good luck on getting a response 🤓

@BlakeTOliver …at least give you enough exposure to know what you don’t know. Perhaps the world would be better served with a more focused credentials. Admittedly, the situation with other professions is just as bad

[Better Idea Group @BetterIdeaGroup]

@BlakeTOliver I’m not going to shill for CPA‘s but at the same time, I have found that the accounting world is incredibly diverse and while I could have 30 years doing accounting in one area (say tax) I probably still shouldn’t be trusted to manage other complex accounting issues. Classes …

@bftcpa Super interesting, thanks for sharing

[Better Idea Group @BetterIdeaGroup]

@united I feel chumped! I paid your $40 bag fee and checked it in early, now they’re checking at the gate free and offering other incentives, this is why your gate agents have to beg people to check bags!

How about you give me a credit now for my return flight!

@kfixler thanks for your work this year to expose financial fraud in a respected nonprofit. I hope many of my colleagues will read these stories as a way to understand how fraudsters operate

Semi-regularly I get asked from my aspiring bookkeeper friends on recommendations for QuickBooks Online educational resources.

Apart from one-on-one specialized education that I offer my clients, here would be a list of resources that I would recommend (see below).

What would you add to the list below?

First, here's an all-in-one FREE YouTube Playlist from @QBKaccounting (one of my favorite instructors) on the basics of QBO in 2024: https://t.co/th6q7ZffCf

Next, for a list of QBO video courses, I would check out @MSOfficeTeacher's library of resources on @Royalwise here: https://t.co/WtAJF8fA0o

Then, I would recommend to get certified in QBO as a QuickBooks ProAdvisor: https://t.co/aCLVXqSNde
- the certification process has pretty comprehensive education via text, video, and interactive exercises to learn QBO
- plus this gives you a FREE set of QBO for you to use for yourself

Next, here are a couple great YouTube channels from a few of my friends:
1️⃣ @QBKaccounting: https://t.co/FHgclHAExF
2️⃣ @nerdenterprises: https://t.co/tiJAR7X9i3
3️⃣ @VeronicaWasek: https://t.co/IFJa8Z5LCT
4️⃣ @masteryourbooks: https://t.co/mxPuVMWaUF
5️⃣ @dawnbrolin: https://t.co/o8LuZCQmUw

Then, there are a number of good monthly webinars that are available to QuickBooks ProAdvisors that you would find value in:
1️⃣ QBS In The Know (@_tedcallahan & @RlseThMcCracken): https://t.co/9T0GZZfOsD
2️⃣ Woodard Webinars (@JoeWoodard): https://t.co/hO1OEBwpO3
3️⃣ QB Power Hour (@MichelleLongCPA & Dan DeLong): https://t.co/FshRZvjrqs
4️⃣ The Appy Hour (@HSatterley & @LizScottQBO): https://t.co/VuCurhgjNp
5️⃣ QBTalks (@QBMurph & @garydehart): https://t.co/Cq7EhHHn7H

Another item that I find helpful is to connect with other Bookkeepers & Accountants on Facebook Groups. Here's a couple of the ones I like the best:
1️⃣ Accounting Firm Influencers (@jackiemeyercpa): https://t.co/1JkoR8Ecd9
2️⃣ Business Workflow and Management (@nerdenterprises): https://t.co/QWcqnhRj5x
3️⃣ QB Community Live! (@Spotycus): https://t.co/R8ZL8Yr2U4
4️⃣ Training for QuickBooks Users (@MSOfficeTeacher): https://t.co/wCpwxGQinQ
5️⃣ QB Chat (Jeff Weathers): https://t.co/7cuGMoOLuk

And last but not least, there's a pretty good educational course that Intuit developed for people to learn the basics of #bookkeeping. Here's a link to the course: https://t.co/PNJGsnKDCk
