## Quote — verbatim

> Distribution of supply — there is enormous amount of supply all the way in data centers, but also in homes, in devices and appliances. We haven't touched even close to what we can touch when you have truly decentralized systems... The limit — it's limitless, pretty much, because every device has a downtime. For example, the gaming console in my house is used maybe once a year, and it's got really powerful chips.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Asked what decentralized compute's killer feature is versus centralized cloud. He cites a US Air Force experiment that networked PlayStations into a supercomputer as proof home hardware is usable.
