## Quote — verbatim

> Akash Network in English is Sky Network — if you shorten it you end up with Skynet... Skynet is an unstoppable network for GPUs, ideal for training machines, and unstoppable because there is no identifiable requirement or permission requirement... anyone can use Akash Network without differentiating themselves between a human and a machine.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Half-joking riff on the name's Sanskrit meaning ("sky") that lands on a serious claim: machines/AI can permissionlessly buy compute on Akash, no human identity required.
