       @gamingonlinux Oh, Linus, Linus, Linus...I mean, it's nothing new, but it's a bit of a painful read.

       @gamingonlinux My biggest concern with his statement is not even on his pro-AI stance, but that he stated Linux is not some kind of a "Social Warrior" project. I think using reactionary takes to explain his stance is a tipping point. Open source has always been about making sure everyone has access to code and software, and if he thinks otherwise for linux or that it's too political, then he shall not stay maintainer.

       @gamingonlinux Sure I will just fork it because maintaining a fork of the Linux kernel is easy. This is yet again one of the worse interpersonal response a maintainer could come up with. If you believe in AI you can just say it it's okay. Just do not pretend it is better because you have used it and your personal experience makes you think so.

       @gamingonlinux "In the kernel community we do open source because it results in better technology, not because of religious reasons." And that perfectly summarizes his own religious convictions. Technological totalitarianism, consequences be damned. Sadly the man has become a worse asshole now in these "AI" days than he ever was before he took "anger management" classes. What a jerk.

       @gamingonlinux I'm going to have to think hard about migrating to one of the BSDs.I'm worried there will soon be nothing left to save.

       @gamingonlinux Really sad to read this... At least it looks like Linus and NVIDIA may love each other again now... ;)

       @gamingonlinux If AIs are ready, maybe he should specify which, because Gemini and ChatGPT are still hallucinating badly also with some basic searches that they hinders you more than the help.It's one of those times when I think FreeBSD has better judgment in some choices, despite the OS lags behind in some areas for lack of devs.They are looking how use AI, yes, but they are taking more time about evaluating where they works for and what avoid about, and are a lot more conservative.

       @gamingonlinux> And no, AI isn't perfect. But Christ, anybody who points to the problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror and pointing at themselves at the same time./me guzzling LNG like nobody's business, farting toxic fumes, and generating 60 dB of infrasounds: huh?

       @gamingonlinux open source Linux's creator doesn't care that AI is not secure, reliable, open source, rights or environment respecting and equates caring about those issues with the derogatory tag 'social justice warrior'????????

       @gamingonlinux i'd point out that his position that this so-called "tool" is above criticism is inconsistent with his stance that linux is a dogma-free project, but he's made it clear that's a big no-no

       @gamingonlinux Let's remember that he only created the kernel, not the entire OS
