“There’s a lot of, quote unquote, DePIN networks that came about and just incentivized left and right all kind of GPUs, and we noticed — according to them, talking to them — only about 1% to 2% were actually real… or with a degree of quality that’s acceptable.” — 00:19:35
Context: Why Akash incentivized enterprise GPUs in data centers (“pips”/pilots) rather than home GPUs; quality verification in distributed environments is unsolved.
