Trust is the only moat

Access will beat intelligence

Model weights matter less than watch time. Each choice you share, mistake you correct, pattern you repeat—this is data no rival can scrape.

Giant context windows mean nothing when you hesitate, redact, hide your best work. Intelligence without access is just another tool.

AI products fail the moment trust breaks. One leaked secret, one crossed boundary, one broken promise. The delete button is closer than undo.

The winners won't have the biggest models. They'll be the ones you let see your rough drafts, debug your code, challenge your thinking. Every interaction becomes private training data their competitors can't touch.

You can copy intelligence with enough compute. You can match features with enough engineers. But you can't synthesize trust. Each permission builds a moat of insights no model can replicate.

The smartest model is the one you'll let learn from your work. Everything else is noise.
