torvalds is really speedrunning all the major “dickhead manager discovers the slopbot” points
and of course, observers know what comes next: trying to shout over every breakage, every maintainer that leaves, every instance where using LLMs has proven to be a horrible fucking idea
nobody operating in good faith thinks an LLM is like a compiler. this is an AI booster meme from early 2026. but torvalds has a captive audience, so his bad takes don’t need to be new. expect to see this crap parroted once again by the worst guys you know. https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/117451805824031590
