"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.

I'd take it with a grain of salt.blinus Thorvald, on the same page as Jeff bezos?
No unfortunately Torvalds is firmly in the "its just a tool" camp.
How does that change the issue that they are not even remotely equivalent?
If they didn't want to be compared to a pig, why did they go into the pigsty and roll around in the mud? One legitimises the use of AI, the other invests in it - both are on the side of Sam Altman and his ilk.
The page already seems to try to be more nuanced than "shit" and "non-shit", so it is valid to ask why two people get the same rating. But they don't explain themselves anyway so this is futile.
One is using it for his open source personal side project, the other is promoting and financing AI
If the world used AI like torvald did, it would already be better
hot take: i mean i agree "its just a tool" but a pretty unethical one tbh which is why i dont like execution for it.
I think it’s a pretty new website. At the moment, there is only one source on Linus Torvald who says he uses "Vibe Coding" for his personal projects. I think the differences will be bigger with more time and data.
So it was released to the public without being useful yet? Sounds familiar.
