## Quote — verbatim

> The choice is really like, is it going to be Larry Ellisons of the world, the new digital lords of the world, that are going to control who gets the chips, to us peasants? Or is it going to be us, the people that actually rely on these chips and use AI on a daily basis...? That's the crossroads we're at with AI right now.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Capping the demand math, referencing Ellison's nuclear-reactor datacenter plans; his core framing of why decentralized compute allocation matters.
