For those unaware, Linus Torvalds this year has deeply cast his lot with the hyperscale LLMs for development of Linux code, dismissing arguments that this is an abdication of responsibility over that code base.

AI is a quarter as old as electricity at this rate, nothing has changed over the past 5 decades nor will. No one smart is arguing anything otherwise.

LLMs are just an expensive ass marketing campaign covering up the largest scale piracy we've seen since copyright was invented.

So some people want to take ownership of others work and feel entitled cause its way easier than actually paying people for their work, but that concept is older than humanity.

Add in the lack of reliability and its a joke to use AI in anything other than a hobby project (which Linux technically is I guess)

    AI still doesn't actually exist. Weird how you claim it's been around fifty years... It hasn't. At all. Ever. That is the ELIZA effect, which is distinctly NOT "AI".

    You're still right in that it is effectively a joke being played on the world, though.
