> How can them having my data, mostly engineering work on niche (small market) products hurt me?

They will train on it, and now competitors or future competitors will know about your niche, the specific problems you face within it, and how to solve them without doing the work that you did to get there.

That's true. It's a two way street. I feel I gain more from what the model offers me, than what I provide back. Of course, local would be a thousand times better. One day I'll have 20k to spare and get the hardware.

For sure, but do the math first and know where you land. Everyone has a different risk tolerance, as long as you know yours there is no wrong answer.

For example a startup with no secrets to spill is in a very different spot than an incumbent fueled largely by secret sauce.

And I'll know about theirs. Fine by me.
