Um, Tristan Thompson somehow runs an AI company even though he’s got no tech qualifications
Possibly the weirdest career switch-up ever
Khloe Kardashian‘s ex, Tristan Thompson, is running an AI company despite having zero tech qualifications. He’s actually been leading the business since February earlier this year in possibly the most random career switch-up ever, alongside being a NBA athlete.
He’s the co-founder and chief content officer at TracyAI, which essentially involves using advanced AI technology combined with basketball expertise, and allows users to get real-time analysis and predictive game insights. Tristan also co-hosts Courtside Crypto?!
Who knew that Khloe’s ex would be such a tech wizard? Well, he did go to The University of Texas at Austin, where he played one season of college basketball for the Texas Longhorns, but didn’t finish his degree because he was drafted by the Cavaliers in the 2011 NBA.
It looks like Tristan basically saw an opportunity to make more money and went for it, as AI is predicted to be worth $3.6 trillion by 2034. He revealed on the Financial Freestyle that he would invest his final dollar in artificial intelligence if it came down to it.
“You see what Mark Zuckerberg’s paying for all these AI gurus? So I might go AI,” he said. “Imagine a sports analyst or commentator on steroids. What I mean by that is having all the high-level analytics that you cannot get from NBA.com and ESPN.”
He continued, “Analytics are coming from the professional teams. We have certain data and access to certain companies that only professional sports teams have access to. And I was able to pull that data with my resources and put it into the AI agent.”
He described his idea as “low-hanging fruit,” as it was one of the few areas he hadn’t yet noticed AI being worked into and said: “For me, it’s like, if [AI is] covering so many sectors, how come it hasn’t got into sports? This is an opportunity where I can be a visionary.”
Tristan added: “I’ve always had this grind, build-up mentality, so it just migrated easily into Web3. If you look at Daryl Morey, he said he used AI agents to curate his Sixers roster… that just shows you that’s the first domino effect into something great.”
