## Quote — verbatim

> They talk about how they couldn't find compute on Amazon, but they could find compute on Akash. So I think for the first time we have something so critical that Amazon of the world doesn't. And we have an incredible shot to get this right.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

On Semafor's "blockchain saving AI" article — mainstream coverage of Akash with "zero coverage crypto" — which he calls exactly the narrative the industry needs (transcript garbles the second clause as "couldn't find computer in Akash"; sense per the Semafor article is "could").
