## Quote — verbatim

> But also there is this Jevons paradox, right — the more efficient something gets, the more usage it gets. I mean, I always want my ChatGPT to go faster... but I'm able to do a lot more things that I couldn't.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Responding to Villamizar's point that energy-efficient AI-native chip architectures (Cerebras, SambaNova) could change power projections.
