From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Imo the biggest problems with LLMs is that they're being sold as something that can replace humans. The people peddling the tech are trying to hide the fact that it should never be used without HIL (human in the loop). Not for anything important.
Absolutely agree, there is a big disconnect between how these tools can actually be helpful in service of a human using them, and the narrative AI companies sell to CEOs about replacing human labor with them. This was a good write up from Doctorow incidentally on the topic. https://pluralistic.net/2025/09/11/vulgar-thatcherism/
