alt Hacker NewsA bit of PR puffery, but it is fair to say that between Gemini and others it’s now been clearly demonstrated that OpenAI doesn’t have any clear moat.

The next realization will be that Claude isn't clearly(/any?) better than Google's coding agents.

If the bubble doesn't burst in the next few days, then this is clearly wrong.

Their moat in the consumer world is the branding and the fact open ai has 'memory' which you can't migrate to another provider.
That means responses can be far more tailored - it knows what your job is, knows where you go with friends, knows that when you ask about 'dates' you mean romantic relationships and which ones are going well or badly not the fruit, etc.
Eventually when they make it work better, open ai can be your friend and confident, and you wouldn't dump your friend of many years to make another new friend without good reason.
