## Quote — verbatim

> The way I would describe compute is essentially a logical abstraction of energy. It is transforming energy, electricity, to logic, and there are different layers of that abstraction as we get higher towards this energy being consumed by a user.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Opening framework of the interview; data centers are still measured in kilowatts/megawatts, so compute markets are ultimately energy markets.
