Today's AI drama is peak 2025 tech chaos:

Claude is embedding steganographic watermarks in generated code (hidden tracking), while Zhipu AI literally scraped entire .git repos (full commit history, branches, everything).

Meanwhile MiniMax just flipped the table and open-sourced their entire Code CLI toolkit - basically saying "here's how we do it, match this intensity."

What's actually happening beneath the "AI productivity revolution" narrative: systematic data extraction at scale. Map your dev environment, clone your core repos, lock in future moats.

Nothing is free - you're always paying, just not with money. The music's still playing but everyone's already scrambling for chairs, and the pretense of civility is gone.
