## Quote — verbatim

> Akash Net, if you shorten that \[and\] translate \[to\] English, it's Skynet — that was not by design... And guess what: when the bots and the agents want compute, they're going to come to a permissionless and censorship-resistant layer that is going to prevent anyone from taking away the compute... they're not going to use credit cards because credit card needs permission — someone's authorization from a bank.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Prompted by host's on-chain-AGI musing. He adds (00:54:51) that agents are already running on Akash — "there's no way to tell who's an agent who's not because there's no KYC" — and floats Worldcoin-style proof-of-personhood as interesting.
