Nauti's Take
Calling AI a '5-layer cake' is a neat metaphor, but comparing it to electricity risks oversimplifying what's still a messy, opinionated stack. Infrastructure doesn't hallucinate — yet.
Context
Understanding AI as layered infrastructure helps practitioners decide where to build, buy, or integrate — strategy starts with the stack.
