MazMansoor · x · 2026-10-29
In an a16z interview, Mark Cuban argues there will be two kinds of companies — those great at AI and those out of business — and two kinds of people: those who use AI to learn anything, and those who use it to avoid learning. He stresses that the real question isn't whether you use AI but what it helps you become, and that entrepreneurs of all ages (50-70 included) must get comfortable talking deeply with their AI to spot unsolved problems.
