“for those founders with a low risk tolerance well consider generative AI tooling as a feature maybe not the core of your product... you can also diversify open AI isn't the only platform... if you have a high appetite for risk as a business owner you can build products using open AI tools and then try to monetize them very quickly”

Match your platform dependency to your risk tolerance — pick one of three tiers

Three explicit tiers to choose from with eyes open. (1) Low risk: AI as a feature inside a product that works without it — your business survives any platform change. (2) Medium risk: abstract over multiple providers, possibly self-hostable, so swapping providers is a config change. (3) High risk: go all-in on OpenAI and race to monetize while the wave is breaking. None of these is wrong — but mismatching tier and risk appetite is.
