Decentralize the compute grid for national security: 1,000 small data centers, "Akash at home"
Ep. 654 The Intersection of AI and Cryptocurrency with Akash Network (CRYPTO 101)
“Our electric grid is so weak. Our utilities are so weak. And… the way we solve that is, [where] we have heavily centered around these, like, small areas, to decentralize them in a way that it cannot be attacked, right? Like, instead of having one large gigawatt data center, how about 1,000 megawatt data centers?” — 01:00:08
Context: His “what keeps me up at night” answer: ~30 known hyperscale data centers as drone-swarm/hacking targets in a China conflict scenario. He follows with the goal of “10,000 of these small modular data centers connected to Akash… truly decentralized infrastructure that is attack-proof” (01:01:43) and points to the published “Akash at home” data-center spec (00:49:25).
