Destroying Linux how exactly?
Don’t you know that LLM is pure evil and everyone who uses it becomes an idiot? At least that is what those anti-LLM fanatics preaching.
Yes of cource. Even if a troll you got it completely right dude.
There was a time when no improvements to the kernel required AI.
Says the pro-AI fanatic…
You’re not qualified for that statement
If there’s one person in the world I trust to call out AI for being stupid, it’s Linus Torvalds. I think he can handle it.
Curious why this is so downvoted? Is it not a reliable report? Are people just confused and down voting news they don’t like? For news posts downvotes work best to help prevent us from clicking into garbage low quality news links that waste our time. This is something I don’t like but want to know about!
Maybe OP’s opinion is what’s being downvoted?
Ah, that’s a good point. Pretty controversial quip there.
meh, it’s his toy/joke project, he can break it if he likes. If you don’t like it, then Fork it.
Torvalds has one of the best takes on AI so far. It’s a useful tool for experienced programmers, that takes care of a lot of the tedious tasks that humans are just not geared for.
Lets imagine for a second, what programming will be like in 2030. Tell me, do you think there will be less AI assisted code, or more, than there is now?
And let me ask this: will traditional programming be useless in 2030?
If the answers are, more and yes, then I understand why one can claim that Torvalds is destroying linux. Otherwise, it’s foolish.
We need distinguish between master programmers who can evaluate AI-generated code and submit it for proper review, and first year interns being told to add 45 features to Friday’s update.
Also people act like only AI code is bad quality and full of bugs. I’ve seen enough legacy codebases, and my own side projects, to know that AI does not have a monopoly on slop. We humans are perfectly capable of that ourselves. It’s the code review process that prevents that being merged, AI or not
Great. I guess I’ll stay on pre-ai version for as long as possible…
Of all things to be tainted by AI, Linux was the one I wanted it to happen to least. He should have just handed it over if he cannot be bothered any more.
