    That’s not really beast mode. That’s a guy with a god complex not understanding the problem after refusing to acknowledge he’s not the only one who cares about Linux for the past twenty years.

    the people I respect and call intelligent are not the ones that shy away from using new and interesting tools.

    You know who else isn’t shying away from the new tools? Trump and his cronies. Like this argument means literally nothing. People like Peter Thiel have said they want the world to end, these are the lines of people not shying away from the tools that Torvalds is aligning himself with.

    Dude needs to fuck off and stop being a single point of failure.

      Hard to think of a poorer argument against AI use.

      In line with the rest of the comments here so far where there’s lots of anti AI rage but little to no coherent arguments that specify how Linus using AI to code is a bad thing. No specifics, lots of vague beating around the bush, highly emotive language.

        My point wasn’t to lay out every argument against using LLMs. That’s been done ad nauseum elsewhere (not this comment thread no but other communities).

        My point was his supposed beast mode was a poor argument for them by pointing out the exact same argument works both ways. Both smart people and dumb people are using them.

          And quite honestly, in my experience, the people I respect and call intelligent are not the ones that shy away from using new and interesting tools.

          (But) Both smart people and dumb people are using them

          This is not the gotcha you seem to think it is…

      What the fuck are you on about? There is so much myopia here from you it’s not even funny. These tools are not going to go away. This is like saying Peter Thiel uses Javascript

        If you think I’m arguing here that they’re gonna go away then please, please, please, go take a reading comprehension class.

        I’m arguing Linus’s point that smart people use LLMs is a piss take that shows zero understanding of the world around him. That’s it.

        I just also happen to wish LLMs would go away for moral and ecological reasons.

          That itself is a piss take from you. What projects have you used LLM’s in for code assist activities (and I’m not talking vibecode slop)?

      Ahhhhh fuck bro. I didn’t know trump used AI. Does he use computers too? I already stopped using a phone and diapers because I saw him using them.
