💡 Why Mark Cuban Says AI Won’t Replace You

Gmail is free, but you pay with your data. Proton Mail is different.

We don’t scan your messages. We don’t sell your behavior. We don’t follow you across the internet.

Proton Mail gives you full-featured, private email without surveillance or creepy profiling. It’s email that respects your time, your attention, and your boundaries.

Email doesn’t have to cost your privacy.

Ditch the Gmail data grab

Hi there, tech minds!

If you thought AI hype was cooling off, this week says otherwise. Mark Cuban is rewriting the playbook for the American Dream, AI agents are bulldozing decades of construction bureaucracy, and “the AI did it” is officially not a legal defense (sorry, robots).

This issue is packed, practical, and built to keep you way ahead of the curve.

Onward. 🚀

Reading Cuban’s take on AI and the American Dream felt like watching him rewrite capitalism in real time. He sees AI as the great equalizer — a mentor for anyone, even a kid with a cracked phone. Cuban uses chatbots as strategy partners, asking how competitors could beat him and then acting first. His message is simple: don’t admire AI, apply it. The real opportunity isn’t coding — it’s bringing AI into industries that haven’t caught up.

He warns to protect your IP and your relationships, but he’s convinced AI can revive upward mobility. By the end, AI sounds less like a threat and more like Cuban’s favorite underdog weapon.

PermitFlow’s $54M raise makes permitting—the slowest part of construction—look like AI’s next frontier. Their models aren’t generic chatbots but tools trained on 12 million municipal data points to handle permits, inspections, and licensing.

The same system speeding wildfire reconstruction in LA is also lowering housing costs. And PermitFlow’s goal isn’t just digitizing forms—it’s automating every pre-construction step, from planning to groundbreaking. By the end, AI feels less like a luxury and more like the upgrade city hall has needed for decades.

Reading Automation and Artificial Intelligence in Construction on JD Supra felt like a legal thriller set on a jobsite. AI is already estimating costs, drafting bids, spotting design conflicts, and monitoring safety through computer vision — but the article makes one thing clear: engineers, not algorithms, still hold the professional seal when things go wrong.

Ethics codes from ASCE, NSPE, and NCARB frame AI as an assistant, never a replacement. The real suspense comes from “shadow AI,” where employees quietly paste sensitive bids, drawings, and strategy decks into public chatbots — risking leaks, contract breaches, and lost privilege before leadership even knows.

Layer in new rules like the EU AI Act and Utah’s AI statute, and one conclusion stands out: “the AI did it” isn’t a defense.

Key Takeaways

Every week, AI pushes deeper into boardrooms, job sites, and courtrooms — and the smartest people aren’t the ones coding models. They’re the ones learning how to apply them. If that’s you, you’re in the right place.

See you in the next issue — smarter, faster, and a few steps ahead.
