Everyone dooming here, but he literally just said that AIs are finding lots of glitches in old code, and that for that reason updates are getting bigger. Linus is NOT vibe coding linux.
And recently ground breaking privillege escalation glitches were found and fixed because of a LLM.
Of course we dont want shitty code from LLMs, but if they find important glitches and vulnerabilities, we obviously need to use them.
I’m not against AI in general. I’m just against using it stupidly. And against using it as a vehicle for further monopolisation and centralisation of power. I’m against the “use more AI” slogan too many companies push.
But use it for specific purposes under human control that improve quality, then I’m all for it.
I don’t think many people are against the existence of LLM-based AI in general, just the way it’s being pushed currently.
In the hands of highly experienced and skilled people it can be very valuable - the issue is that it generally isn’t. Personally I think Linus has demonstrated that he’s more than capable of using it intelligently and responsibly.
Nuance is a learned skill when it comes to sensitive/trending topic discourse.

Exactly.

Maybe you should of had AI find the glitches in your grammar.
Got em 😎 lol
Maybe you should have proofread your comment before posting a grammar gotcha!
Maybe you also should HAVE* ;)
Oh no, 'twas I, the silly goose, all along.
*This comment was grammatical checked by Lumo AI

Should HAVE**
Lmao, english is not my first language, and my phones touch near the keyboard sucks
Casually dropping one of the broadest applicable use cases for an LLM that you didn’t use
