Efficiency over expansion — reuse deployed compute
Ask Akash - What problem does Akash solve? Can it scale? (Akash Network)
“A lot of times when you have a server that’s sitting out there that’s turned on, the carbon emissions is not just the server but the cooling systems and the whole ecosystem around keeping those lights on. Instead of trying to be expansionary to get more power, we’re looking to be more reusable — we’re looking inwards to open up what we have already deployed and make that more usable.” — 00:02:55
Context: Energy/carbon framing of the compute-utilization thesis, years before his AI-energy arguments. Speaker: uncredited Ask Akash answer; likely Greg.
