Fair enough!

I've been vocally against Linus AI advocacy, but I do understand all the points you make here.

I don't like that a lot of stupid people will take Torvalds use and embrace of AI as gospel that AI is some be all end all.

I also LOATH that he is indirectly benefitting fascist corporations that committed the largest theft in human history.

But the code is good 🤷‍♂️

To say I am conflicted, is an understatement.
