But he's from Finland.

Iirc he's in Oregon.

I’m not totally convinced that his behavior in the past is a reflection on what is to come. He is at this point still refusing to answer questions about licensing LLM generated code and such and has apparently been obfuscating LLM commits. That doesn’t sound like somebody who is committed to results so much as it sounds like somebody giving into AI brainrot.

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 not sure I'd call permissive licensing "ideological purity" compared to copyleft.

Frankly, I think BSD loses because corporations are legally allowed to take and never give back.

That and BSD was almost BSD™ by AT&T™.

Lost all its momentum at probably its most valuable growth opportunity to a single dev.

OUCH

That's a "yes, but", not a "no".

And AI code is intrinsically bad because is fundamentally impossible to understand (yeah, I mean literally). You just can understand what you actually put your effort to comprehend, reason and write by yourself. They're just delegating their reasoning to a machine.

Also, Why not LLMs?
