## Quote — verbatim

> So I'm building a data center in my house in Texas, with a 'come and take it' flag in front of it, and that's going to be 40 kilowatt, solar powered — it's going to pay for the house. So I think we have an opportunity now: people are going to use my GPUs that are in my house because you have no other option, really.

Concrete personal example of the home-compute-earning-income thesis, delivered mid-argument about the decentralization window; also cites Google DeepMind's DiLoCo paper as promising work on distributed-training latency.
