## Quote — verbatim

> The complexity and the needs for compute is doubling every four months, especially generative AI... and there's just not enough GPUs to support that growing. The only way to get these GPUs is to go inward... look at where the GPUs are deployed and try to get access to them, because people that have deployed, purchased GPUs are not willing to sell.

Responding to the Passage founders on generative AI democratizing content; his pitch for tapping idle GPUs (e.g., when not training 24 hours a day) via Akash instead of buying scarce chips.
