## Quote — verbatim

> There have been 100 compute marketplaces that came after Akash. Most of them are just not decentralized in any manner — they're just SaaS apps. So ignore anything that's closed source, ignore \[anything that's not on-chain\]... just because something has a token doesn't mean it's decentralized. So all that is junk.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Host quotes Greg's line that "99% of decentralized AI today is vaporware" and asks what's worth attention; he also dismisses most AI-agent tokens as pump-and-dumps.
