I’m glad Linus is pragmatic about this, ethical questions aside LLM’s are a highly valuable tool in software development and they are likely to continue to improve. Any engineer fighting the use of LLM’s will ultimately find that their peers are achieving more in a shorter time then they are. Open weight LLM’s have also come a long way and are already good enough for daily use.

ethical questions aside

And his here is the problem. Oh yeah lets just waive off the biggest critisicm on and issue of AI.

Hitler was a pretty neat guy, ethnic cleansing aside.

And before you say this, no, i am not comparing you to hitler, I’m only using an over the top example to hopefully make my point more clear.
