## Quote — verbatim

> I don't like to use unnecessary buzzwords... just like when you use Uber you don't talk about the internet. When you approach an AI user, they don't care about blockchain or decentralization — they care about low cost, high quality resources... I try to use \[the\] minimum amount of words to describe the value prop in the quickest manner possible.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken
