@const_reborn @bittensor @2084Richardson Love $TAO, Jake is the man, however you need to make the message more clear. Someone with no knowledge of how Bittensor works is going to be baffled listening to him. The communication has to be simple, concise, and easy to understand. Using words like sequester for example..

If #Bittensor was a company, if it was a big centralized AI network..

“What happens when AI infrastructure stops chasing everything — and focuses on making intelligence actually reliable?” Sachi Takahara / 0699.eth joins Karan Sirdesai (Karan), Founder of Mira, for a deep dive into how Mira is taking a sharper path in decentralized AI: high-trust, reliable intelligence as the core product. They break down why Mira isn’t trying to be another full-stack AI protocol, how it differs from networks like Bittensor, Ritual, and Sahara, and why its narrow focus could make it easier to plug into the broader AI infra ecosystem instead of competing with every layer. The conversation also dives into Mira’s reliability model — from core tech to node-level consensus — and why the future of AI APIs may depend less on raw model access, and more on whether users can actually trust the intelligence they receive.
