Episode notes
Vertical Integration Enables LCR
- Grass is vertically integrated from nodes to data centers, enabling a cost-efficient web crawl for AI.
- That vertical stack can offer unblockable, internet-scale browsing for live context retrieval.
Make Nodes Always-On And High Throughput
- Maximize always-on, high-throughput nodes to reliably crawl multimedia at scale.
- Prioritize distribution channels (devices, TV apps, hardware) to raise the baseline online connection count.
Prioritize Distribution Over Hardware Margins
- Use dedicated consumer devices (Grasshopper, TV apps) to increase unblockable IP coverage.
- Optimize for distribution, not short-term hardware profits, to scale the network.
