Put a price on breakthroughs

Automated excerpt

A frontier lab and one neolab agree on a scoped goal up front. Training recipes can’t be patented, so once a team shows a lab how it did something, the lab doesn’t need the team anymore. No sensible team will show its work without a price agreed first, and no lab will pay for something it hasn’t seen.
