I do think a lot of startups, especially on HN, are in for a reckoning that your new vibecoded product/service or one with an AI feature or two added will survive. Everything you do is going to feed the model, that's the training data now. That's why Claude is so cheap for what it does.
You cannot prompt Claude better than your customer can. There is no realistic moat there. You will not survive.
If I imagine this as a winner takes all markets are big corporations safe? If you replace all your human labour with a service from a big AI monopoly what leverage do you have when they tell you hey btw your tokens are going up 20% next year? Will it be easier to negotiate with 30k disorganised employees or one of the richest companies the world has ever seen?
