Sort of, I guess, if you squint.

It's more about recognizing that computing now controls a great deal of power and wanting a large slice of that power.

IDK - I don't think too many students get into the computing field because they are power hungry. If they gain a lot of power because they "release the next big X" then that's a byproduct and not the motivation.
