how did linus torvalds, the man that would rageface scream at people for doing shit that was perfectly good, that he just didnt like, become the latest to bend over and butter his ass up for the AI cock?

Torvalds have said a lot of controversial things. Some even against free software. But I think he is a pragmatic, not a cynical.
