## Quote — verbatim

> Our thesis of, well, you're going to have companies move away from the cloud and the data centers are going to get repatronized and there's going to be a mass underutilization... we're going to see a lot of these players like Walmart come away.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Argues repatriated enterprise data centers (e.g., Walmart, whose utilization outside shopping season is under 5-10%) will offload spare capacity onto Akash. "Repatronized" is the auto-caption's rendering of "repatriated."
