Founder playbook for 2027: your moat is proprietary AI knowledge, marketing is what's left for you

yongfook outlines three eras of founder moats: pre-AI, tech knowledge (Rails, UX) made better products; 2025/6 merges that knowledge with AI at execution level for 2-3x speed; 2027 belongs to "AI knowledge" — a proprietary set of skills, harnesses and loops doing strategic and executional work at 100x, with you checking in once a day. alexmacgregor adds the corollary: founders should do the marketing AI can't — in-person events, YouTube, webinars, white-glove onboarding.
