## Quote — verbatim

> In \[a home\] where you don't have strong internet connection, what can you host? You can host machine learning — you don't need strong internet connection, but you need a lot of compute and GPU... the idea is to have that machine learning — you put it in your computer to become a supercomputer, I mean put GPUs in, you know, to serve machine learning.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Why ML is the workload that fits home hardware despite weak residential bandwidth — "if we can create a GPU infrastructure that's spread across the world... the economics will play out." Notably pre-ChatGPT (July 2021).
