@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

@bloognoo @davidgerard Thanks for the correction
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 🪙

@davidgerard I thought Linus Torvalds was not anti AI? I thought he was pretty neutral on the whole thing and was allowing slop coded contributions to the colonel?
@Canageek @davidgerard I seem to recall he sees it as a toy and would just use it for hobby projects and nothing serious.

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

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

@waffle_iron @davidgerard this toot is sentient.
Who can argue with that?!

@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

@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.

Segnali rilevati: satelliti/radar vedono fueling o erezione TEL in 30-60 secondi.
Conferma intel: analisti/IA validano in 30-90 secondi (2-3 indicatori).
Decisione e lancio strike: ordini catena comando + volo armi NATO (es. F-35 da base Polonia o ATACMS): 1-2 minuti max.
Totale: hai 1-3 minuti per distruggere il lanciatore prima che il missile decolli. Oltre, è intercettazione disperata (Patriot ha ~70% vs ipersonici).

Io ci scherzo sopra, perché noi italiani siamo u o dei pochi popoli che lo usano, però facciamo veramente una fatica tremenda a provarci si questa sana abitudine.
Un'amica con cui ho condiviso qualche avventura, diceva: toglietemi il pane e la pasta ma non il bidet

@cwebber You know, I often find myself thinking similar things. There was a big jump in nonsensical papers citing my network science book that occurred in parallel with LLM proliferation. So I can only assume there is nonsensical network science code being written based on the examples, which network scientists are going to have to spend a lot of time debugging and debunking.

In the play the Count is a genius but won't lift a finger if he can make someone else do it for him; his coersion of Figaro into service is not even necessary, which makes it all the more galling. By 1816 even though aristocrats were still around, social norms had changed enough that such behavior would have been too unbecoming for an aristo to do on purpose. Thus the Count has to be so inept he simply cannot succeed without Figaro and must beg him for help, which Figaro gives at his discretion

@simonperry @Paoblog in mancanza di bidet funziona bene, te lo assicuro. Oltretutto trovi tutto facilmente in loco e non costa nulla.

The QED documentary from 1988 about John, titled "Johns not mad".
https://youtu.be/wxfJDpd3XcY?si=MIyqz8eZdb7M17eq
And because of these documentaries, that's why the UK is not currently mad at John. Educate yourselves. Grow some understanding. The man is a treasure.
