Mark Cuban just pronounced software dead, and the implications will destroy industries before most people understand what happened. Cuban: “Software is dead because everything’s going to be customized to your unique utilization.” Rigid SaaS dies. Businesses stop bending to static tools. AI molds around needs in real time. Value chain shatters. Decade of value going to generalist builders ends. Transfers to customizers who translate capability into advantage. Next trillion comes from customized intelligence sold to “33 million companies” too small for giants to service. Software-as-a-Service over. Service-as-Software owns everything. Cuban: “33 million companies aren’t going to have AI budgets, aren’t going to have AI experts.” Problems exist. Data exists. The bridge doesn’t. Cuban: “Learn all you can about AI but learn more on how to implement them in companies.” Market bifurcates into builders and integrators. Integrators capture value builders can’t touch. Cuban: “Every single job available for kids coming out of school because every single company needs that.” Technical translator becomes the only role that matters. Contextualizing AI for specific use cases becomes more valuable than building AI itself. Learn “the difference between Sora and Veo” and “how to customize a model” and you modernize any legacy business’s economics faster than they can process. Alpha isn’t the model. Alpha is applying it to contexts nobody else understood well enough to solve. There are 33 million businesses waiting for that person who doesn’t exist yet.




FSD has gotten so insanely good. I don’t understand why anyone in the market for an EV would buy anything else than a Tesla at this point. Total game changer.


Bringing energy storage to the home is like indoor plumbing. Your toilet tank has storage. Your water heater is storage. You don't know it yet, but you're electrically living like you're in the 1930s.
