    Clearly he doesn’t care about results because he slop coded with antigravity rather than reading documentation for a python side-project. I imagine his younger self would be cussing his older self out for shipping things he literally doesn’t understand.

    The reason for his actions are much simpler: he got paid. He gets paid from the linux foundation which receives a lump sum from AI companies. In 2024 Linus said AI was just Hype, but then the foundation received millions in funds from the AI companies.

    If he cared about results he would have written the damn things himself.

      I’m no vibecoder but between 2024 and now, LLMs also got much better. It might not have been the money that changed his mind.

            You’re going to argue that some new never before seen trove of uncontaminated training data was discovered? Perhaps you think the AI Scaling Laws don’t exist? Businesses that adopted AI dropped it or went out of business not long after, it’s as useless today as it was in the 1980s.

                  In what fantasy world are you living, that you don’t believe that??

                  I’m living in the world of software engineering and this is a fucking reality now… I don’t like it. I really don’t like it. I really would like to agree with you, but it’s not the case, since they have introduced reinforcement learning a while ago, the models got quite a bit better, this has nothing to do with AI psychosis or anything.

                  They are not superior for everything (fortunately, otherwise I would have to fear about my job), and I say that as a quite experienced software engineer, but for rather dull tasks they are certainly quite a little bit faster than manually programming per hand, although it’s certainly more fun to program by hand even dull tasks…
