@brofessor_chaos @mcuban the opposite is true.

The real dirty secret is that companies have moved to a model of avoiding interns and entry level positions in general. They’d rather pay for someone to “hit the ground running” mid level-senior roles dominate the market. No one wants to train, no one has knowledge share and training in place anymore. They don’t want to pay to train someone that leaves in a year and they don’t want to pay the wage that person is worth after a year of training so it’s a losing battle for new grads.

This is wrong. It assumes that new grads don't learn new skills. I'll let you in on a secret. AI, in whatever way we use it, is going to change, continuously, for YEARS GenZ is AI native and will keep up. The non native AI generations?😀 No chance.

@rohanpaul_ai Where do you see AWS v Azure as dominant in say, 2030

AWS is going to be busier than ever. "We're going to bring OpenAI to AWS. And so it's going to drive enormous consumption of cloud computing at AWS. It's going to expand the reach, expand the compute of OpenAI. And as you know, they are completely compute constrained. " Jensen Huang from NVIDIA GTC Keynote 2026 Full video from 'Nvidia' YT Channel (link in comment)

@akm515 I disagree. AI just walked thru a complex math problem late at night for a teenage neighbor. no human tutor around and mom/dad not familiar with the level of math. kid learned how to do it and aced his test in class. Kid has new level of confidence. AI is changing things

AI is making experienced professionals more productive and limiting skill development in young adults. How do we develop professional grade critical thinking, communication, relationships, and other skills in the brains of young adults while taking advantage of their natural tech abilities?

@BianchiWeather any EGE Eagle/Vail crystal ball predictions

Top takeaways for tomorrow's snow: 1) It's actually going to snow in Denver, Colorado 2) Metro area AM commute could be a brief hot mess - heavy snow + 20-30 mph winds. Accumulating snow likely done by noon 3) Mountain snow will be messy all day. Snow squalls possible #COwx

FYI: If I "unfollowed you" it is temporary. Trying to reset X to stop all the spammy advertising and "for you" posts appearing in my feed. Expect a re-follow in a few weeks

@seanchiggins why did you quit ChatGPT

I quit ChatGPT — here's how I moved everything to Claude and Gemini without losing my data (or my mind)

@GuyTalksFinance absoutely zero investment advisors are "going unemployed because of AI."

If I were a Financial Advisor or Accountant I would be very worried about AI replacing my job.

@erichustls As Mark Cuban would say, I can't get behind something I am not passionate about. Creating multiple faceless Instagram pages and hoping for affiliate links? Uh, have fun little feller. I am OUT

If I wanted to quit my job & use AI to get rich by Summer, here's exactly what I'd do: 1. Start a faceless Instagram page before the week is over. Not next month. Not after you "research more." This week.

@stacy_muur what is "general communications" never heard of it. If it is on Twitter it must be real

Most useless degrees to get in 2026 • Finance & Accounting • Data science • Law • Computer science • Cybersecurity • Physics • Business administration • General communications

@MicrosoftLearn sounds like the GRC folks will be forever employed

The most underrated IT skill in 2026: Translating technical risk into business language. Agree or disagree?

@steve_hanke Please tell me you are joking.

Three years after ChatGPT, AI is everywhere, except in macroeconomic data. If AI’s value is in productivity enhancement, it's still not showing up in the numbers. AI = LOTS OF HYPE.

@rohanpaul_ai @gregsolon Curious your opinion on "prompt engineering" side gig. My college son has heard everything from 1. that is the hot skill to learn, to 2. the "ship has sailed" on that. #AI currently has a 2010-ish "cybersecurity" feel, numerous job titles, endless various skills and paths

in my opinion, that 33mn SMB number will only increase in the AI era, because now most of the friction to build business, are being removed. one person can build which previously needed literally 10 people. And that applies to almost any business. For software business-related business, it is now a 100x leverage. Now literally 1 person can build what previously needed 100.

Mark Cuban on the next job wave. Customized AI integration for small to mid-sized companies. "Software is dead because everything's gonna be customized to your unique utilization. Who's gonna do it for them... And there are 33 mn companies in the US."

@r0ck3t23 1000% agree with this

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.

@rohanpaul_ai we have robot assembled cars from more than one car brand, that are complete junk. So....

"Hand-made" tag will soon mean lower quality than robotic assembly. 👀

@kimmonismus @grok @elonmusk is way behind current Gemini and ChatGPT paid models. I hope this update is a good one

Update: Grok 4.20 next week. This is going to be exciting!

#NEPats #SuperBowlLX Make no mistake, QB Drake Maye will develop into an outstanding QB over next season or two. They got this far, but just couldn't get the W. They will be back. Congrats to #Seahawks

@venturetwins Wall Street has their own assessment

I love how everyone is saying "SaaS is dead" like you're going to get the Fortune 500 to ditch Salesforce for a CRM vibecoded by a 13-year-old

@BrianSozzi Next letter starts with: As you know, difficult situations require difficult decisions....

New letter from new Target CEO Michael Fiddelke on his first day as CEO: "To our Guests, Team Members and Business Partners, This week marks my first as CEO, and I want to start by saying thank you. I began my career at Target more than two decades ago. I’ve grown here, learned here and worked alongside teams and partners who care deeply about our guests. Stepping into this role is both humbling and deeply personal. And while we have real work to do, we are clear on who we are, our unique place in retail and in the hearts of our guests. We are equally clear on the opportunity in front of us. Our guests want great design, real value and experiences that delight. That’s where Target has always been at its best, and it’s what grounds the important work in front of us now. As we move forward, our strategy is focused on four priorities: Leading with merchandising authority by curating with conviction — bringing together design, style and value in a way only Target can. Elevating the guest experience by making every store visit and digital interaction easier, more inspiring and more welcoming. Accelerating technology to remove friction, enable our teams and create more personalized, joyful experiences for guests. Strengthening our team and communities by investing in our people, building future-ready skills and growing alongside the communities we serve. In the weeks ahead, my focus is simple: listen closely, move with clarity and urgency, and lead with purpose. We will make clear choices, invest where it matters most and bring this strategy to life through our stores, our digital experiences, and — most importantly — our people. To our guests: we’re committed to earning your trust and making every visit feel worth it.  To our team members: you are the heart of this company. To our partners: we grow best when we build together. I’m excited for what we’ll create — together. With gratitude, Michael Fiddelke, CEO, Target"

@akm515 I didn't realize January was a hot month for home buying. I suppose "the data" will be "disappointing"

Homes are still too expensive for Americans. The economics just does not make sense for most. January's data will likely be lousy as well due to weather and a mild rebound in interest rates. This spring will be very telling, whether more sellers or buyers get off the sidelines. It looks like we'll have more sellers in Texas as most buyers remain priced out of the market.

@bigangrylaw wrecks all over Houston, over 185 flight cancellations at IAH today, but yeah just nothing

The apocalyptic Houston freeze appears to be much ado about nothing thus far….
