Back to Mark Cuban on Why AI Could Turn Solo Founders Into Trillionaires, with Mark Cuban & Erik Torenberg.

Will There Be a Trillionaire in the Basement?

Mark Cuban says there will be the trillionaire in the basement, and that there is no better time to be an entrepreneur than right now. Somebody will put out an agent swarm and do it on an entrepreneurial basis.

Agents are the hard part of that picture. They do not see social media posts and cannot review them. Transcripts for any real number of posts are hard to get, and agents cannot watch ads or see ads. If individuals move to an agent-driven economy, a lot has to change in how commerce is communicated to the agents. The fortune he describes sits in that gap: one person, a swarm of agents, and a business that does not exist yet.
