This will be the 'defining technology for the next stage of human development': CEO

Yesterday was amazing. Saturday McCormick nailed it at the start of the summit and he said Trump was going to catalyze a moment. I really think that was the perfect word for what happened. Looking around the room, seeing the executives, watching the collective group make these commitments to doing business in the Commonwealth and continue to build the energy infrastructure, the data center infrastructure, and computing infrastructure to keep the aspirations at the forefront of what needs to be.

We have been busy. The Core Scientific acquisition, the announcement of the investment in the Lancaster facility, and a few other facilities that we are investing in building, it's an articulation of our strategy to take more control over the physical asset and the vertical integration of the company. We are moving up the stack. Earlier this year we bought Weights & Biases, which gives us software capacity towards the customer in terms of helping them run experiments and understand what is happening inside of the experiments and the data set. Acquiring companies like Core Scientific and building data centers allows us to vertically integrate down into the physical data center infrastructure that is required to house the supercomputers that all of this depends on. I hope the strategy is becoming clear. No one piece of this is the answer, but when you put it all together, what you see is a company that is going to be able to participate in every single step along the way to ensure efficient and effective delivery of that computer. At the end of the day, that's a piece that matters. Our clients depend upon us for that, and without that, we're really not going to be serving the purposes of this corner of this industry.

I'm not a spring chicken. I've been working for a long time.
