AI Could Create the World's First Trillionaire, Says Mark Cuban

Mark Cuban believes AI could produce the world’s first trillionaire—possibly “one dude in a basement.” Speaking on the High Performance podcast, he called this the “preseason” of AI, with its most transformative breakthroughs still to come.

Details:

• Current AI use is just the beginning. People rely on it for tasks like scheduling or tough conversations, and companies like Chipotle use it to cut hiring time. Cuban compares this to the early internet, expecting AI adoption to follow a similar path

• But it comes with risks. Jobs are being replaced—Shopify and Fiverr push staff to learn AI, while Duolingo uses it over contractors. It also powers scams, misinformation, and drains energy—training GPT-3 uses enough electricity for 120 U.S. homes

• Still, Cuban encourages trying it out. He suggests using tools like Gemini or ChatGPT but warns not to blindly trust results. AI isn’t thinking—it just finds and organizes info, and it improves when users push back

Cuban says AI will feel essential in five years, with people asking, “How did I live without it?” He doesn’t expect doomsday outcomes but sees AI driving massive wealth as it improves daily life.

DeepSeek R1 Shakes Up AI Market but Faces Unexpected Challenges

Just over 150 days ago, China’s DeepSeek R1 shook the AI world and markets by matching OpenAI’s reasoning while slashing prices—just 0.55 for input and 2.19 for output tokens, over 90% cheaper than o1. The bold pricing sparked fears that China could commoditize AI models.

Details:

• Since R1's launch, AI reasoning model prices have plummeted across the industry, with OpenAI recently slashing their flagship model price by 80% in direct response to this competitive pressure

• DeepSeek kept scaling reinforcement learning after R1’s release, leading to major improvements in the model, especially in coding. This shows how ongoing post-release work drives AI progress

• User traffic to DeepSeek’s consumer app surged at launch but hasn’t kept up. Web browser visits are falling, which is worrying, though Chinese usage may be underreported in Western data

R1 revealed key AI market trends. DeepSeek cut prices, but direct use dropped, showing price isn’t enough. With 20x third-party growth, factors like speed and integration drive success.
