Torvalds: AI Is the New Compiler, Not the New Programmer

I wish more would listen.

Many seem to interpret the headline as “Torvalds is an AI Bro now,” when its more like him yelling “If you all don’t treat these things as tools, shit is going to hit the fan.”

After seeing what happened to windows because of this “tool” I think many of us are rightfully skeptical of what will happen to this community.

It happened before, why are we okay with it happening again?

Microsoft doesn’t treat it as a tool; that’s the problem.

…Which isn’t surprising. Not only because Microsoft is Microsoft, but they own like a third of OpenAI, so they have a vested interest in perpetuating the AI hype.

Microsoft has far more people relying on their products to work, so you’d think they’d exercise far more diligence in making things work…

Far more people compared to what?

Linux which is still stuck at around 3% market share

Windows basically rules the world on desktop PCs

Desktop PCs are really small part of the whole, far more people rely on working linux systems to work, like orders of magnitude more.
