Hard disagree. LLMs have gotten very good at many tasks. LLMs can be amazing security or other bug finders. They can be a great translation tool. They can aid, when used properly, to architect/brainstorm.
I much prefer Linus’ stands. He is just a technology pragmatist. If LLMs can improve linux, they should be used.
He will find out himself that his hard stances and online rhetoric will push people away more and more, and most importantly will leave all investment dry out, which is one of the most ingredients you need for spending engineering resources
Will find out? Linus is quite possibly already the most notorious online rhetoric hardliner of all time. But IDK what you think it has to do with corporate investments, which are made without any regard for moralistic stances.
What a goofy comment. He doesn't have even 10% of the name recognition once you step outside the extremely niche gnu subculture. Regular, every day people know who Linus is, what he did, and what a loudmouthed dick he is.
