## Quote — verbatim

> I believe that as AI gets more advanced and AI gets more usable, people want privacy, people want to host AIs in the home. That's how we tap into more distributed grid; that distributed grid will power a decentralized AI... energy bottleneck and the need for privacy are going to be key drivers for decentralization when it comes to compute.

His core local-AI thesis stated in full — home-hosted AI as the demand side that activates the distributed energy grid.
