Mark Cuban just dropped some real talk for young builders and entrepreneurs out there. When asked what he'd recommend for the next generation looking to make it in business, his answer was blunt: "I would spend every waking minute learning about AI."

It's not hype. Cuban's point is straightforward—if you're serious about building something that matters, AI literacy isn't optional anymore. It's the baseline. Whether you're bootstrapping a startup, trading crypto, or launching your own venture, understanding how AI works and where it's headed will separate the winners from everyone else.

The shift is already happening. Companies integrating AI are moving faster. Traders using AI-powered analysis are making smarter calls. Projects built on intelligent automation are scaling better. Those sleeping on it? They're getting left behind.

So what's the takeaway? Stop thinking of AI as some distant future tech. Start treating it like the essential skill it's become. Your competitive advantage depends on it.

NGL, Mark is right... but people are shouting this every day, and the key question is, how many actually learn and understand it?

Really? Learning AI around the clock? Cuban's words sound like he's selling anxiety... But on the other hand, looking at my crypto buddies, those who keep up with AI are definitely making money, while those without AI are falling behind.

NGL, Cuban is not wrong, but "learning AI every minute"? I'm still figuring out how to make my trading bot not lose money...

NGL, Mark is right. If you don't learn AI now, you're really going to fall behind... Why do I feel like he's been saying this every year, but he's not wrong? AI, this thing, isn't optional to learn; it's already a survival necessity. Wait, is he serious? Learning AI every minute... brother, do you still need to eat and sleep? Just studying AI alone is useless; without execution, it's all talk. I believe it, but the reality is that most people still can't produce anything after learning. It's easy to say here, but very few actually take action. Honestly, AI literacy is now as basic as knowing how to use Excel. Isn't this just the trick of crisis merchants... but strangely, what they say is right, so annoying.
