## Quote — verbatim

> We have AI centralization risk, where if there is an AI that's trying to self-replicate, self-learn, it is going to try to get all the GPUs on the network, because Akash being permissionless, no one can stop you from using the GPUs on Akash.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Asked about centralization threats; he sketches a scenario where an AI plays Akash's incentive market to attract more GPUs and then consumes them all, outbidding humans: "it is kind of scary a little bit — I don't have answers to those questions as of now, but yes there is that threat."
