Linus Torvalds: ‘AI Is a Tool, Just Like Other Tools We Use. And It’s Clearly a Useful One.’

lore.kernel.org/linux-media/CAHk-=wi4zC+Ze8e+p3tMv8TtG_80KzsZ1syL9anBtmEh5Z40vg@mail.gmail.com/

Linus Torvalds:

I realize that some people really dislike AI, but this is an area where I’m willing to absolutely put my foot down as the top-level maintainer.

Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it.

Or just walk away.

AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it’s clearly a useful one.

It may not have been that “clearly” even just a year ago, but it’s no longer in question today.

There are other questions around AI (like what the economy of it will actually look like in the end), but “is it useful” is no longer one of those questions. Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn’t actually used it.

Mitch's Blog Supports Webmention

The word “blog” has a branding problem. It sounds old-fashioned and fuddy-duddyish. But there really is no other word for what I do here, and what other people like me do on their websites.

Mitch's Blog Supports Webmention

Remembering the time when we were first married and I went into work on a Monday morning and I popped into the breakroom to get my first cup of coffee, and one of the women who worked in the office asked me how my weekend was and I said, “Good. My wife left — "

And the woman I worked with gasped and turned white and stammered, “I’m s-s-so sorry.”

And I rewound the conversation 60 seconds and I realized what I had just said and I clarified: “She left to visit her family. For a week. She’s coming back.”
