Great piece, Brian. The garden hose intro is a perfect touch. This 4-layer map is the decoder ring the market needs to move past the hype. Including Hugging Face as the "non-token" benchmark makes the TAO thesis much more credible. It is the reality check most crypto-native writers skip.
Thanks for your support Agisilaos! Yes on Hugging Face I think grounding it in something the broader ML world actually uses is the minimum bar for anyone trying to make an honest case here.
