## Quote — verbatim

> I might make another prediction: with the advancement of DeepSeek, I think \[the\] market is going to realize funding private companies billions of dollars is not the way \[to\] AGI, versus having a shared ownership model that taps into global liquidity... I have a strong feeling that right now, with DeepSeek, AGI is actually possible on chain versus in a private setting.

Explicitly flagged as a prediction; he adds synthetic data makes compute the only limit and that this "is going to put a dent in Nvidia['s] networking-first model" (continues into the [00:44:11] block).
