Yeah Linus thinks because he can easily validate the code generated by ai and know what to use and what to discard/recreate
I mean, the Linux kernel exists because of him? I would argue to say he knows the most about Linux than anyone arguing against him.
somebody is gonna fork it to keep it human only
People are going to generate and commit code without acknowledging the LLM usage, then 5-10 years will pass and a huge whistleblower will go ““BabaMan29484” has been committing LLM code for years and nobody except I knew about it!! [Insert evidence] [Insert community outrage] [insert fork of a fork created by “real
humans”]”
I won’t argue and say that LLM generated code isn’t plagiarism, I mean it has to learn somewhere, but if it’s being audited by industry professionals I can’t see the negative to using it.

I think you partially missed their point. Linus thinks that because HE can then everyone else can too.

The dictatorship of Technocratism. This same (circular) argument is pushed by neoliberal fuckers on austerity, when that’s just a game they were paid to play. Software existed before Linus Torvalds and will thrive after him.
