## Quote — verbatim

> If you had to point where maximum availability exists today in terms of resources, it is really in the home computers. Like I have a PlayStation at home that I use once a year... I have two consoles that are just in idle 360 days of the year, and that could be part of a computation network.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Balanced against his own caveat minutes later: ~99% of Akash supply is data-center-grade, four 4090s draw ~2kW ("quite a lot for a home"), and Apple M-chips lack software support — "we're getting there but we're not there yet."
