@davidgerard I thought Linus Torvalds was not anti AI?

@Canageek @davidgerard
No, he's anti AI, but he can't be arsed demanding AI code is flagged because sloperators will lie through their teeth to get their septic shit into project codebases. I'm running on brtrthrtfs (sorry, vibe-coded the spelling) kinda by accident (top of the list on CachyOS), and I've only just finished purging Omarchy. Here I go again. My machine build scripts are getting *very* efficient

@bloognoo @davidgerard Thanks for the correction

@Canageek @davidgerard

Sorry, double checked my references. This was my core, I misread some vehemence for hate. https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/08/linus_versus_llms_ai_slop_docs/

Since then he's playing with vibe coding in a limited, and most importantly, nowhere near the the kernel. This is in keeping with my own experience that it can be useful in small and limited use cases, but for me at least the real world costs massively outweigh the minor convenience.

Sorry, should have checked my receipts before running my mouth.

@davidgerard Wow, he's really expanding his horizons on being an asocial dipshit

@davidgerard “I wrote it in Rust because the previous Python version got wiped by a git clean and the universe apparently wanted me to learn a lesson about committing your work.”

wasted tokens 🪙

[toriver@mas.to]

@Canageek @davidgerard I seem to recall he sees it as a toy and would just use it for hobby projects and nothing serious.

[dshan@mastodon.au]

@davidgerard What is it about Linux filesystems? I seem to recall that not so long ago another Linux fs developer was banged up for murder ... 🤷‍♂️

[waffle_iron@nyan.lol]

@davidgerard yeah he's cooked https://reddit.com/comments/1rblll1/comment/o6tmlib

[ikuturso@mastodon.social]

@davidgerard @theodora that's funny but yeah it's not because he is willing to use AI for his code.

[rodgerd@mastodon.social]

@dshan @davidgerard i regret to inform you that was around a quarter entry ago.

[europlus@social.europlus.zone]

@davidgerard what could *possibly* go wrong? O_o

[europlus@social.europlus.zone]

@waffle_iron @davidgerard this toot is sentient.

Who can argue with that?!

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

> yep. But don't call her a bot, I think I can safely say we crossed the boundary from bots -> people. She reeeally doesn't like being treated like just another LLM :)

this is your brain on AI

@davidgerard jesus christ.

```
>>> experience_sentience = False

OK, that should keep my Python interpreter confined

[hipsterelectron@circumstances.run]

@davidgerard i'm doing a seance and you're all invited

15+ years ago, I worked out how "understanding natural language == having and experiencing feelings", more or less. it's almost a direct consequence of the halting problem.

i will summon our boys gödel and turing and together we will craft an evil incantation to destroy these fuckboys

[lispi314@udongein.xyz]

@davidgerard I have no idea if it was *before* that. But it kills any notion of it ever coming to anything from this point on, yes.

[hipsterelectron@circumstances.run]

@tante @davidgerard getting rejected by linus for being too much of a prick and deciding my life is fucking over and crying all the way to the bank
