## Quote — verbatim

> We have a gigantic nuclear reactor in the sky called the sun... it just doesn't make sense to me that we don't use most of it — most of it goes to waste — while we are building such infrastructure to compensate for our lack of motivation to use the sun's energy. I'm a big proponent of renewables... my testimony before Congress was about leveraging renewables to train AI.

Rapid-fire question "which is more underutilized: GPUs, energy or human brain power?" — answer: brain power, "but more practically, energy."
