AI isn’t perfect. But Christ, anybody who points to the problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror and pointing at themselves at the same time.

- Linus Torvalds

Ya, I was a terrible developer before, now I’m still terrible but faster. LOL

just think about how much more damage you can do with a gun vs your fist

ai is an icbm

These are the most dangerous developers..

Facts. How good you are as a developer. Ai is a really useful tool. Especially the latest frontier models. I don't like the companies behind them. But the models are very powerful.

I will never use AI unless I am paid to like I currently am. I am not a worse developer for it. I have been learning software engineering continuously my entire life. I am completely self taught for over a decade professionally and longer than that in my free time. I have no university degree. I grew up in poverty in nowheresville Kentucky.

I don’t need an LLM to learn or succeed. LLMs literally need people like me. I am sad Linus cant see it that way, but never meet your heroes so they say. l

I’m not sure you understood. That quote is defending against AI haters

No I think that quote is attacking AI haters. Hes saying the people who say ai code has issues should look in the mirror because so does theirs.

That’s what I said. AI haters are attacking, and he was defending against them, telling them to look in a mirror

Oh I misread sorry

because people with an agenda are seeing:

• linux people hate ai
• top linux guy doesn’t hate ai

then try to combine those while leaving out the specific details so people come to their own conclusions based on emotional reaction in the hopes that linux users will turn away from linux or even change their views on ai the same way maga fucks change their views on epstein

or maybe its just an every day well intentioned headline like everything else
