Mark Cuban Would Still Have Dinner With Donald Trump
Then, in terms of change, I don’t know. AI.
How would you modify it?
I would make it more democratic. I would just like to open as many as possible because the ride is so fast and so expensive. You buy and buy all the technology you can. You invent all the technology you can, and it’s almost immediately obsolete. When you’re in this environment you have to worry about what you’re doing yourself, which is why you see Meta trying to pay for all of this in insane bonuses to get the best.
It’s wild.
As long as you have top talent and someone with great ideas, as long as you have your own Jony Ive, using an Apple analogy, you can be more open. You don’t have to be afraid. You don’t have to hold back.
So you want to see AI development evolve even faster than it already is?
Yes, it must, because China waits for no one.
What will happen if China, quote, wins this race?
We’re fucked.
Let me take a step back first. Win, right? There is still a long way to go. The AI is still effectively stupid. He doesn’t have the intuition, he doesn’t have the immediacy of a vision of the world that people have. So it’s still stupid now. It still makes the processes smart and the things that we talked about, but I don’t see that big general threat in terms of takeover in the next 20 years.
In short, you want to change AI so that the industry evolves faster. We live in the Matrix, but all the videos my child generates with Sora 2, do you want me to have a copy?
Without fail.
By the way, the best way to find out what your child is interested in is to check their Instagram and TikTok feed. This will tell you more about your child. But either way, it has more impact on everything that happens. And again, coming back to politics, whoever controls the algorithm controls the world.
With that in mind, how do we feel about Larry Ellison today?
To be determined. I won’t draw any hasty conclusions. Let’s see what happens. Because it could backfire on you. Just because you have control doesn’t mean you win. There is certainly a risk. But it’s not just about the output of the algorithms, but also about how it runs the business. And you know Zuckerberg is going to do everything he can to fuck it up, and you know Elon is going to do everything he can to fuck it up.
This is the real battle of the oligarchs.
