## Quote — verbatim

> The idea of supercloud was just getting formulated — I think Cornell wrote a paper in 2015 — and we really liked the idea of supercloud, that you can decouple the control plane from the execution plane or the resource plane, and reduce the cloud providers, both public as well as private, to resource providers and not give away control.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Origin story of Overclock Labs/Akash; he analogizes hyperscaler cloud to a rental-car oligopoly versus ownership.
