I wrote this piece about how the AI gold rush is turning us against each other needlessly. It starts with the mountain made out of a molehill from the Linux maintainers mailing list, then zooms out to the word games and money games being played on a global scale.

As a critic of the AI gold rush, I argue that sane software engineering values would have prevented the mismanagement that led to the backlash, and therefore we are allies not enemies.
