Yes, though it goes further than that even if you ignore the politics.
Linus is undoubtedly talking about when an LLM is used in a very specific way in his imagination where it's helping a competent programmer spot some things they might have missed, but the programmer is still diligent and professional and genuinely does take responsibility for ensuring the quality of their commits. Where the delusion comes in is grossly overestimating how many people are actually like that outside of his inner circle of world-level experts. What's happening in all the other open-source projects is a flood of low quality garbage PRs from meat proxies.
Yeah, I'm not sure they count as "domesticated". I was always given to understand that domesticated implied some basic degree of understanding that they were part of an arrangement with humans, e.g. cats know that you're feeding them and don't attack you, whereas an otherwise-untrained wild animal will readily bite the hand that feeds it.
Cambridge Dictionary on the other hand has a different definition: "brought under human control in order to provide food, power, or company", which also doesn't fit spiders, because it implies they're under my control when they're very much not.
Ok, try complimenting a man on his bosom and see how he reacts.
You might read it that way, but it doesn't make the other reading wrong the way that user SwingingTheLamp was suggesting.

Also, even in English, "bosom" is generally taken to be the polite way to say breast 99% of the time even if it /can/ mean the chest area. I think you're just being contrarian.
The alt text on that strip seems especially pertinent
You've hit on my bugbear with most post-apocalyptic fiction: pretty much universally humans have shown that they will tend towards co-operation when placed in situations of hardship. But most writers, game designers and preppers want you to think that when civilization collapses everyone will be like "there's no rules any more! I can murder whoever I want and take their stuff!"
