Every Linus AI headline for the last year: "AI is the future, adapt or die, if you hate AI leave Linux."

Every actual Linus quotation from those articles: "AI can be a powerful tool in the hands of experienced human programmers that are still responsible for every line of code they push."

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.

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..

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

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. I am not a worse developer for it.

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

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Bazoogle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 3 weeks ago

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
