Amid the "there is no moat in AI, it's all move fast and break things" debate, a developer shares his practice: after moving from Instinct to Muse, he has both assistants write everything they know about him into a Google Doc each night, effectively exporting his data and avoiding lock-in. If a better product ships, his switching cost is close to zero — echoing the view that labs, infra and products alike have no durable moat.
