About this episode

The episode explores Harvey's AI valuation and features an interview with Suzanne Thompson discussing bar grievances and legal compliance.

Is AI giant Harvey making a genius play or risking a catastrophic, public collapse? Host Jared Correia dissects the company’s high-stakes gamble to build its own frontier AI model to break free from outside vendors and control its own training data. Then, Chief Bar Counsel Suzanne Thompson steps into the studio to strip the fear away from bar grievances. From the strict rules governing non-refundable fees and bartering legal work to managing automated tech supervision and executing honest mistake remediation, Suzanne provides a clear roadmap for professional compliance. Stick around for the Counter Program to see if an outsider can decode authentic Maine slang. Learn more about Suzanne Thompson . Check out our latest Spotify playlist .
