They sound indistinguishable from a group of "hackers" from a bad 90s movie. Just throwing out buzzwords in a meaningless way.
that's 1 trillion teraflops btw, it's like 1 billion cutting edge GPUs for FP16. just the electricity, at 600 Watts (only the GPUs not including literally anything else, at perfect efficiency), that would be 600 gigawatts, or around 5250 TWh annually which is half the chinese grid, or 20% more than the entire US grid. at this point she could've said 1 morbillion, it doesn't matter it's just not going to happen.
EDIT: i forgot she said 10 yottaflops not 1 yottaflop. just multiply everything by 10. it still doesn't matter it's just not possible right now.
Or about 0.1mm/year of sea level rise, or 50 cubic kilometers of Antarctic ice melt, or one Hiroshima bomb every 2 minutes.

The CEO of Moloch makes a statement.
"Look, we are vital to the country's economy and to national defense. our needs come first. It's the law. Things could be worse for you. Much, much worse. You can replace furniture. We could take from you what can't be replaced."
This can be read as both hype and critique, which I think is neat.
Yottaflops? More like Yadda Yadda Yadda Flops! 
'Yotta' is a real SI unit prefix - a yottaflop is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (10^24^) floating point operations per second
