Newsom's last budget: Cut California spending now, save for the AI bubble to burst

You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month gone.

That's not a technology failure. That's a buying decision made under pressure — before anyone knew what problem it was actually solving.


Here's what's interesting: Even California's governor is publicly saying AI may be a bubble. He's setting aside reserves for when it bursts. That's not anti-AI. That's smart business — don't spend big until you know what you're buying.

Most business owners are doing the opposite. Rushing into five-figure AI commitments because competitors might be ahead. That fear is exactly what vendors are selling into.

The businesses winning with AI right now aren't the ones who spent the most. They're the ones who started with one specific, measurable problem and matched a tool to that problem — nothing more.


You don't need a transformation. You need a test.

Pick one repetitive task your team does every week that eats time and produces frustration. That's your starting point. Solve that one thing first. Measure it in 30 days. Then decide what's next.

Small wins compound. Big bets on the wrong tool just compound regret.


What's the one task in your business you wish you could hand off tomorrow — if you actually trusted the tool to handle it?
