Distributed data centers need a decentralized connective layer

“Now there’s enormous amounts of compute spread across hundreds and hundreds of data centers across the world… that really brings about the need for a layer to connect these distributed data centers, and that layer cannot be centralized. I think that’s critical for this layer to be decentralized, and Akash is one of the decentralized networks, if not the leading decentralized network, that’s connecting these distributed data centers.” — 00:13:05
Context: Since the GPU crunch, Nvidia allocates smaller quantities (<5,000 units) to many players rather than lots to one, dispersing global compute.
