## Quote — verbatim

> We believe in the unstoppable web, and what we're doing with Akash is essentially creating a new operating system for the internet. And how we're doing that is by tapping into unused 85% capacity in 8.2 million data centers... Akash is essentially a peer-to-peer network of computation clusters designed for global-first applications, planetary-scale applications.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

His standing framing of the Akash thesis, repeated twice in the episode; anchored to internet-era permissionless principles ("you don't need anybody's permission to go to a website or host a website").
