I spend my days in sessions with our businesses, it is clear, AI is not IT.
Tge ones who struggle buy a tool and try yo learn it's features. The ones that get traction find the frictions and build solutions in AI. Either automation, revenue generation or innovation 💡
Headed to record with the @Texas811 podcast — thinking about infrastructure the whole drive.
I spent years designing redundancy into global connectivity: diverse fiber paths, diverse COs, no single point of failure for worldwide operations.
The AI buildout is the same problem at the same scale. But layer one has moved.
It's not the copper, the fiber, the central office, or the WAN anymore. Redundancy now starts with the grid. Perfect fiber diversity means nothing if the substation feeding your data center has no alternative.
Same discipline. New layer one. 🎙️ episode soon.
I've spent the last two days working with Fable 5, the first Mythos class model and I see the moment I have been telling businesses is coming. AI is now an infrastructure. Where knowledge and networks once defined and built your worth, tokens are becoming the real currency.
@mcuban Go in knowing the industry, even the microvertical strategic issues and their competitive positioning. Coming in with an understanding of what problems tech is solving in their industry and ability to articulate how to implement takes you to the next interview or offer.
I've now seen government from the inside and could not agree more. The reward is for small thinking and status quo in an organization poised to produce more good than any other. Recently had to train a group multiple times in government on AI usage and finally loaded a profile of all 18 people in AI and said how do I get through to them. Claude gave me a format and told me how each would react and a detailed facilitator guide. They were almost on cue but they finally learned something ..Claude titled it Difficult Reinforced Dynamics. What if AI could do this at scale with a deep description of results expected and current status, even for regulatory and enforcement groups? We could focus on results, not poorly evolved cultures.
@mcuban AI can be our true democratization but pay be token will widen our digital divide for small businesses. Lets not let that happen in our schools.
An article from the 90s explaining how in the 1980s, personal computers changed the dynamic of college vs high school workers. College grads learned how to use PCs and grew wages faster
Mind you, this was when interest rates were 15pct, white collar unemployment was the highest it’s been any non covid year, general unemployment was 10pct, there was a recession, 18pct mortgages, and the start of the savings and loan industry collapse.
The economy was a mess. Except it was the start of the “digital revolution “ which lead to change.
Here we are at the early days of the AI revolution. I think it will be very analogous to what happened back then.
If you think learning how to use Clause seems daunting, imagine being 50 yrs old in 1983, not knowing how to type, using a 1.0 key adding machine with a tape roll to do all your work as an analyst and realizing you had to figure out how your brand new IBM PC and lotus 1-2-3 worked.
Or having only used a typewriter your entire career , then having to learn the new PC and WordStar. Trust me. WordStar key combinations were far harder to learn than telling Claude what you want done
Lots of people couldn’t figure it out. Those who did were more productive

Everyone wants me to rip on TrumpRx. Reality is, it’s saving patients money on IVF and a few other drugs. A lot of money.
IMO, anything that saves patients money is a win.
And they truly do have some great people that are making smart moves. You just don’t know their names. Chris Klomp. Mark Atalla, Abe Sutton and so many more.
When you talk to them, and see the work they put in, it’s obvious they are focused on trying to do the right thing for patients.
Don’t forget they didn’t give the insurance industry a price increase they wanted, and those stock prices got crushed.
TrumpRx is just getting started. @costplusdrugs is just getting started.
I just applied to @ABCSharkTank.
3 days ago I was pulling wire in Kentucky.
Then @mcuban reposted my work, DM'd me, and personally introduced me to Shark Tank casting.
Today I submitted my application for Season 18.
Here's the wild part:
I'm not a tech founder. I'm a Master Electrician. IBEW Local 369. Zero coding background.
I built @EV_ChargeRight — a $12.99 tool that saves homeowners $3,000-$5,000 on unnecessary electrical panel upgrades before EV charger installs.
70% of EV owners don't need the upgrade they're being sold. The math proves it. NEC 220.82.
I built the entire product with @AnthropicAI's Claude. No dev team. No funding. Just a tradesman with a problem worth solving.

A week ago I was just an electrician with an idea and a laptop.
Now I'm applying to pitch in the Tank.
If you're in the trades and thinking about building something — do it. The barrier isn't technical skill.
It's believing you're allowed to try.
Can Any ticket brokers with experience selling CFP Championship games give any comps and insights into how they think prices will move between now and right after kick off?
Lots of IU fans want to know !
And BTW, FYI, the base price of tickets went from $350 to where they are now immediately after Miami won. It’s a home game for them.
So we need to know the best path to tickets for IU fans !
I don't know. What I'm pretty sure of is that Hoosier Nation has delivered.
Thousands of IU fans donating what they can to help the cause, is far more than what I give.
It takes not just the best Coach,AD , Players and Organization to win, it takes a fan base that loves IU as much as I do.
The 2 playoff games have been home games. That tells you what you need to know about Hoosier Nation and how far they are willing to go to help
