"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Is it? After reading the article and the original post in the kernel mailing list, IMO the article depicts Linus' opinions accurately.
Was also astonished to find out that Linus considers people who advocate for sustainable tech are doing so solely out of fear and that AI can't be criticised because humans also make errors.
Yeah, I read the mailing list as well as the article didn't skew it much at all. Linus having hard opinions that piss is nothing new, he's a bit of a dick even when I agree with him (to be clear, this is not one of those times). I am disappointed in his opinion, but not surprised. Linux is mostly funded by big tech, and Linus has never really been against them like the Open Source zealots like RMS. He's just highly opinionated and historically has have little filter when sharing said opinions.
