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.
It's 2am in Tokyo. A father of two can't sleep. He's three months into a career change that isn't working, and he hasn't told his wife how scared he is. He picks up his phone and starts talking to Tony Robbins' AI Twin.
A genuine conversation. He tells Tony everything. Tony holds him accountable the way only Tony can. He helps him find what he already knows. The man commits.
The next day, he opens the app. Tony remembers. Tony asks how the run went.
This is happening thousands of times a day. Across 23 languages. With some of the most influential people on the planet.
This is Steno.
We build hyper-realistic AI Twins for leaders and brands. Your Twin thinks like you. Speaks like you. Sounds like you. Remembers every conversation and deepens its relationship with every user over time.
Tony Robbins. Peter Diamandis. Margarita Pasos. Brian Tracy. Dan Lok. Gerard Adams. Oso Trava. Justin Donald. Brands like Sleep Science Academy and Ask Slim. And a growing roster of experts from around the world.
The Tony Robbins app alone: 4.8 stars, 2,000+ reviews, peaked at #29 in the Apple App Store. Tens of thousands of daily active users connecting with these Twins every day.
Your Twin connects to your entire ecosystem: your CRM, your products, your customer data. It knows what each person has purchased, what they care about, what they haven't explored yet. It guides them through your world with full context.
The traditional funnel is dead. This is what replaces it.
At the center is Maya, our intelligent Twin-building AI. Maya does the heavy lifting: learning how you think and speak, capturing who you really are. Our team works alongside Maya to make sure every Twin meets the standard a name like yours demands.
We've been heads-down for two years. No marketing. No hype. New platform. New brand. New everything. Today we're reintroducing Steno to the world.
The internet solved distribution. Social media solved reach. Neither one solved trust.
We're building the trust layer.
If your knowledge, voice, or brand is too valuable to stay one-way, this is what we built for you.
The future is personal. We're just getting started.
@daltonc Markets not being capable of pricing in this natural pattern of evolution and often pricing in the parabolic after the midpoint inflection, correcting violently as nobody wants to be the first to leave the party because clients will fire them 🤣
@cbriancpa If you heard that your accountant had two sets of books, you might think they were being fraudulent. But they’re not. They do it every day. https://t.co/H6ZVTOLsCX
@CMcCulloughEA@cbriancpa Good point. It’s a little provocative. Financials audited by a CPA create the trust that underlies our financial system and that helps businesses a lot.
I’m looking for a great CPA to refer our small businesses to… dm me if interested!
@cbriancpa@OriGoldman Fair. CPAs play a very important role in ensuring that investors can trust the financials. Financials audited by a CPA underpin the entire trust that we put in our stock market!
But only a very small percentage of the companies on our platform have investors.
Different needs
@cbriancpa Yes! Thank you! The intention of a CPA is to keep you compliant with tax rules and Accounting rules. Our intention is to help you see your business better. To do that we do accounting for all your business data - not just your bank data!
