## Quote — verbatim

> I'm building a new house in Texas and I'm having one of the edge data centers in Texas... I want to have AI everywhere — agents everywhere listening to every conversation we have in the house, all sensors... the whole thing should be run by AI. That's the dream. But there's so much private information there, I would hate that information leave my home... So I can have local, sovereign AI that is fully private in my home and be able to make money leasing this out on Akash.

His personal instantiation of the local-AI thesis: running DeepSeek R1 (he cites a ~$0.5M cluster requirement for the 375B-parameter model) at home, subsidized by leasing spare capacity; quote spans the [00:27:41] and [00:28:25] blocks.
