For those unaware, Linus Torvalds this year has deeply cast his lot with the hyperscale LLMs for development of Linux code, dismissing arguments that this is an abdication of responsibility over that code base.

First I was going to reply with the "I ain't going to read all of that" meme.

Then I realized you'd use that as an argument later on to defend AI, so I read it.

I have read the same exact arguments so many times, that I just wasted my time on nothing. I'm won't bother to write the same exact rebuttals I (and others) already have.

Yet AI bros get all angry if we artists dare to draw fanart, because we draw something that already existed. Maybe their brains got cooked by the promise of "infinite, original, and personalized" content...

    Meanwhile I actually said:

    I genuinely believe humanity would be better off without AI

    Your reading comprehension needs work.

    My literal only point in all of this has become that tools exist independent of politics. I also think guns are abhorrent, but they exist and we have to deal with them. So it is with AI. The gun and AI are neither independently political items. It is their use which turns them into political topics well worth discussing.

    If I were able to Thanos snap both guns and AI off the face of the earth along with all capability to ever produce their like again I would do it without a second thought or care for any of the consequences for it as I believe both are indeed net negatives for humanity.

    As i lack that capability, I am going to have to learn how to live my life in a world where these things do exist. I also don't blame the items themselves for existing, but rather the evil people who build them in the name of ever greater profits.

    But you keep putting words and beliefs in other people's mouths if it makes you feel better, I guess.

    You're falling for the AI vendor propaganda, which paints people who solely not wanting to use the AI, or engage with its output, as extremists, and the furthest thing that can be done about AI. You're defending AI, you just don't know it, thanks to popaganda.
