> There are no virtuous participants in the artificial intelligence race

A bit of an insulting way to start the article.

Plenty of researchers and smaller companies would disagree, but they won't get articles written about them because they're not embroiled in DOW killbot drama.

We might not be in this situation if all of this money was given to them instead.

In a similar vein, a shout out to all my software homies out there who are just trying to fix data entry input field bugs instead of constructing the Torment Nexus.

The AI race refers to the big companies that through shady tactics are currently in the 'lead'. None of them are virtuous.
