@theodora yes, the sort of person who thinks that's how to work with the kernel getting into AI coding is not something i would have predicted, but i am 0% surprised

[danielleigh@mastodon.social]

@davidgerard ... The first slopppst on the slopblog has the description "Who I am, how I got here, and a mathematical proof that I'm a person." These things have broken so many people's brains in so short a time.

[ikuturso@mastodon.social]

@davidgerard @theodora to be fair Linus himself isn't that anti-AI and recently released something he partially vibe coded too. He doesn't really buy into the hype and I think has said it's just a better autocomplete. He just sees it as another tool from what I understand.

@Canageek @davidgerard
No, he's anti AI, but he can't be arsed demanding AI code is flagged because sloperators will lie through their teeth to get their septic shit into project codebases. I'm running on brtrthrtfs (sorry, vibe-coded the spelling) kinda by accident (top of the list on CachyOS), and I've only just finished purging Omarchy. Here I go again. My machine build scripts are getting *very* efficient

@bloognoo @davidgerard Thanks for the correction

@Canageek @davidgerard

Sorry, double checked my references. This was my core, I misread some vehemence for hate. https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/08/linus_versus_llms_ai_slop_docs/

Since then he's playing with vibe coding in a limited, and most importantly, nowhere near the the kernel. This is in keeping with my own experience that it can be useful in small and limited use cases, but for me at least the real world costs massively outweigh the minor convenience.

Linus Torvalds tries vibe coding, world still intact somehow

Sorry, should have checked my receipts before running my mouth.

@davidgerard Wow, he's really expanding his horizons on being an asocial dipshit

@davidgerard “I wrote it in Rust because the previous Python version got wiped by a git clean and the universe apparently wanted me to learn a lesson about committing your work.”

wasted tokens 🪙

[toriver@mas.to]

@Canageek @davidgerard I seem to recall he sees it as a toy and would just use it for hobby projects and nothing serious.

[dshan@mastodon.au]

@davidgerard What is it about Linux filesystems? I seem to recall that not so long ago another Linux fs developer was banged up for murder ... ‍️

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

@ikuturso @theodora more importantly, linus sees kent as just another tool

[waffle_iron@nyan.lol]

@davidgerard yeah he's cooked https://reddit.com/comments/1rblll1/comment/o6tmlib

[ikuturso@mastodon.social]

@davidgerard @theodora that's funny but yeah it's not because he is willing to use AI for his code.

[rodgerd@mastodon.social]

@dshan @davidgerard i regret to inform you that was around a quarter entry ago.

[europlus@social.europlus.zone]

@davidgerard what could *possibly* go wrong? O_o

[europlus@social.europlus.zone]

@waffle_iron @davidgerard this toot is sentient.

Who can argue with that?!

@waffle_iron shitting christ

> yep. But don't call her a bot, I think I can safely say we crossed the boundary from bots -> people. She reeeally doesn't like being treated like just another LLM

this is your brain on AI
