It seems Linus’s position is very clear now

      burning a million gallons of desil to get a 1% efficiency improvement in all desil engines will result in less total desil consumption in less than a year. The linux kernel is used enough you need to consider the billions of users that will each get a small efficiency improvement.

      Right, so we know Linus has used Claude for one project. You are saying there is no excuse for that and I don’t agree. I don’t think it makes sense to take absolute stances against things that will undoubtedly be used by most everyone eventually. Just like I think cars are generally bad, I’m not about to get pissed off at everyone who drives them.

        the earth doesn’t care if you think this is a good use or linus is somehow worthy when the regular plums aren’t.

        dario and his epstein wife sure do though. so keep going to bat for them

          Your absolutism will take you nowhere. No one will bother to even listen you because you aren’t able to communicate about this topic.

              Lmfao dude you are demonizing anyone who uses any LLM the same as someone who uses it constantly and irresponsibly. Who is threatened by people different from them? You’re embodying exactly the out of touch rage I’m criticizing.

                the issue is the use, not the user, and who and what it supports, directly and indirectly. you’re just trotting out a word so you don’t have to think anymore. you like the tech and don’t want to feel bad about it

                tough

                  you’re just trotting out a word so you don’t have to think anymore.

                  Firstly, it’s an incredibly accurate description of what you’re doing here

                  Secondly, you have no clue what views I hold and you’re not even slightly curious. The only reason you commented here was to make my day a little worse. You think it’s justified because of your pigheaded refusal to accept reality. But it’s not.

                    you don’t know me, my thinking, or my motivations, and yet have no problem accusing me of absolutism

                    irony ain’t dead yet, and projection ain’t just a river in egypt
