Sarah Hooker argues there's a narrow window for companies to leverage their own intelligence: Harvey began investing in model training about a year ago to exploit its proprietary IP, while OpenAI has meanwhile aggressively entered the same space. She warns the lesson is critical — companies holding IP have limited time to build models that leverage it, otherwise they're just fueling frontier labs that will eventually encroach on their verticals.
