Using Codex/Claude risks giving your business ideas to OpenAI/Anthropic
dbasch · x · 2026-08-26
A developer highlights a risk of using AI coding tools like Codex or Claude: if you build something interesting, you are effectively letting the AI vendor in on your business. Since the vendor has access to the conversation, they could theoretically feed it to their superior agents with a prompt to "improve this and deploy it as a feature," potentially rendering the original startup obsolete.
