Mark Cuban Thinks He’s Cracked the Code. Seriously.

Oh, joy. Mark Cuban did a podcast interview and apparently thinks he’s figured out how to disrupt *everything*. The gist? Find ridiculously inefficient industries – healthcare being his current obsession because, surprise, it is inefficient – then throw money at problems until something sticks. He’s moved on from streaming (because that wasn’t hard enough) and now believes AI is the key ingredient for fixing everything wrong with medicine.

Basically, he’s looking for areas where people are actively *losing* money due to stupidity and complexity, then wants to apply tech solutions. Groundbreaking stuff, really. He keeps banging on about how data is king, personalized experiences are vital (tell me something I don’t know), and that the current healthcare system is a goddamn mess ripe for picking apart. He’s investing in companies trying to do just that – preventative care, AI-powered diagnostics, the usual Silicon Valley savior complex bullshit.

And of course, he thinks everyone else is doing it wrong. He’s all about “solving real problems” which apparently means problems rich people find annoying and potentially profitable. He also mentioned cost transparency (shocking!) as a major issue. Like that’s new information. The whole thing feels like a very expensive, self-congratulatory circle jerk.

Honestly? It’s just venture capital with extra steps and a lot of hot air. Don’t let him fool you into thinking this is some profound insight. It’s money chasing problems, plain and simple. And probably making things worse in the long run.

Speaking of inefficient systems… I once had to debug a routing issue caused by someone using Comic Sans MS in a configuration file. Comic Sans. In a router config. The sheer audacity. That’s the level of “problem” Cuban is trying to solve, except with billions of dollars and a podcast.
