Linus Torvalds: “I realize that some people really dislike AI, but this is an area where I'm willing to absolutely put my foot down as the top-level maintainer.

@BibbleCo Holy crap, you mean there really was efficacy to those micro-reactors?
@EvoScale I believe in new technologies that turn up in the middle aisle of my local German budget supermarket... or the Toolstation catalogue, perhaps. Or they thwack me over the head. ... Come to think of it There's an infinite list of others. Abandon toot!!

Linux foundation members are listed companies like Microsoft, Google, IBM, and others. So I am not surprised that he is backing up his employer who pays his salary.
Other day Star Wars creators George Lucas recently endorsed AI in filmmaking, SAYING it is the "future" of cinema and comparing the rejection of AI to preferring a horse and buggy over a car. He argued that AI makes the creative process easier and that embracing progress is inevitable.
@nixCraft cars use fossil fuels and emit environmental waste, same as LLM training, they're basically the same
so yes it's "better" but at what cost to humanity?

@nixCraft I’ve been saying this for the longest time, Linus Torvalds at this point is a paid representative for Microsoft. He draws a multimillion dollar salary from the donations of Microsoft, Google, & Meta & rewards them with board membership of TLF. And TLF has been spending millions more on AI the last several years than on kernel maintenance. We should not be surprised that Linus talks like the CEO of Microsoft when defending AI. He’s just another stockholder. Sad, but that’s reality.

All of the major #BSDs allow AI code. Even #OpenBSD. https://codeberg.org/ethical-foss/open-slopware#operating-systems
In light of all the horror stories of vibe coders getting hacked, this seems really really really bad for security. I don't know what OS to use now.
@argv_minus_one @radicalabacus @nixCraft @loadhigh @faraiwe @Stefan_S_from_H @geospacedman oh damn, but thanks for the link! Very informative and comprehensive. Strange that I hadn't seen it before.
