## Quote — verbatim

> What's even more crazier is when AI writes code and Akash is unstoppable, and no one can stop AI from using Akash... Akash means the sky in Sanskrit... if you convert that into English it's Skynet Network. So it's weird, you know, it's an unstoppable Sky Network where AI writes code to serve either AI... but since Akash is decentralized and has a governance model that's controlled by the token, people now have control over the supply of the future... I think the new Skynet is going to be very different actually.

Riffing on GPT writing Solidity contracts and code; he argues token governance keeps humans in control of AI's compute supply.
