Both p2p GPU renting for AI training and location-based renting for gaming are very interesting business models.

Also glad they didn't drag blockchain into that.

While blockchain definitely has it's use cases, it's surprising how much more effective a $5 DigitalOcean VPS with Postgres installed can be. At Vectordash we couldn't think of a single way in which involving a blockchain would result in a better product.
