torvalds is really speedrunning all the major “dickhead manager discovers the slopbot” points
and of course, observers know what comes next: trying to shout over every breakage, every maintainer that leaves, every instance where using LLMs has proven to be a horrible fucking idea
nobody operating in good faith thinks an LLM is like a compiler. this is an AI booster meme from early 2026. but torvalds has a captive audience, so his bad takes don’t need to be new. expect to see this crap parroted once again by the worst guys you know. https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/117451805824031590

and I am serious about this: if you want to predict what torvalds will say and do next, look at what AI boosters in power did months ago. he’s following the playbook to a T, and he’s digging up all the old justifications.
that makes it rather easy to shout back, of course, but torvalds isn’t (currently) afraid of that. he believes himself to be immune to shame.

and hey, you know what? the linux kernel boy wants to pretend he can’t see a single difference between an LLM and a compiler or an editor?
sure thing, kernel boy
the fuck was that CS degree again for? did you have your little brother write your code and take credit for it or something?

mail back your degree, fucker, we’ve proven beyond doubt you never completed your compilers requirement. we’ll fix the mistake your registrar made when they granted it.

@zzt man things would be a lot different if stallman ripped off the BSD kernel instead of trying to cook up one from scratch based on someone else's thesis

hey given that you like stochastic bullshit so much, how about this
all of linus torvalds’ success writing kernel code happened by chance. he is a fraud.
that’s exactly the same as using an LLM. prove me wrong, little fucker.

you won’t, you don’t have any brain left in your fucking head. we know what happens to mid little fucks who embrace the slop machines. people who actually completed their degrees researched it!

it is currently day 0 of linus torvalds being unable to prove he isn’t a fraud who stumbled into or plagiarized all the code he wrote
start the fucking counter, right next to the “days since AGI with no general intelligence found” counter

@techokami heh no problem, I’m rage spitballing

@zzt But yes, the entire reason Linux became big was because the GNU Mach kernel project was in development hell, and then Linus posted a hobby project as part of a rebuttal to a debate with one of his professors that was Good Enough to make the GNU coreutils standalone. Hell, remember the original posting Linus made? He never wanted it to become big! But it did anyway and now we're all paying the price

got my first “why so angry” from some oblivious motherfucker
tell me, gang. read torvalds’ words and tell me why I’m so angry

@zzt I might write a more detailed version of this later on tonight, no promises

why would I respond to repeated and personal betrayals by one of the most toxic men in tech with anger?
and yes, when our labor is stolen that’s a personal betrayal. it doesn’t matter if torvalds knows who I am. I frankly don’t give a shit if he does. what I need you to know is he’s a weak fuck pretending to be a genius.

@zzt no they will never reflect, these folks have proven themselves to care more about glory wealth and power than anything else.
they’re nodes in the system, they’re not the humans they want you to think they are. that is where our empathy is no good. can’t bridge that gap. they’re malicious, bad actors, using the legal system to hide from the fact they’re frauds

@zzt he is absolutely going to take the kernel closed source. dude is seething https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/117451818001188131
