@GovPhilScott@AmySheldonvt , the iron fisted nonsense with everything Montpelier is trying to push through is crushing Vermonters. ACT 181 is oppressive and illegal . Our taxes are going up ,Airbnb rules are changing against us. (Help) Repeal 181 all of it. #vtpoli#repeal181
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.
@GovPhilScott as you know the 181 benefits went to a few people in the cities and all the penalties and restrictions went to the rural folks, now they’re gonna pull back a little bit, but keep all the goodies for tier one? FULL REPEAL #repeal181#vtpoli
@GovPhilScott Hold the line governor. This is the most impressive groundswell support for you since you were elected. Please hold the line on all these issues. They can’t knock you over this time.
@GovPhilScott by keeping part of act 181 Montpelier is penalizing the folks in the rural areas that didn’t get spoken to when the law was created and rewarding the people that paid for the Law. All must go. #repeal181#vtpoli
Instead of watching Netflix tonight, spend 1 hour on this Claude AI full course.
It teaches you how to build and automate anything and gives you a skill most people won’t have even in 2 years.
@PhilScott4VT the entire bill has to go by keeping 181 tier 1 you’re rewarding some of the parties and quieting the other people by rolling it back- you’re just punting on their needs . We need to start over. #repeal181#vtpoli
@PhilScott4VT all of 181 has to go. By leaving tier one (which is necessary,) it seems it benefits only the developers. We could write a narrow law that would enhance the ability for people to work unencumbered inside the urban sectors. #Repeal181#repeal#vtpoli
