## Quote — verbatim

> The amount of compute, amount of GPUs we need by 2030 will account to about 5% global GDP that's being spent — so 5% of global GDP will be spent on AI compute. Now do you want that money to be controlled by the few companies, like four companies, or do you, the user who uses the AI, should be in control?
