@thelinuxexperiment Torvalds instance does not look unclear to me, he is putting individual decision and efficiency above social/environmental discussions, stating that AI tools can be useful (and have been in finding hidden bugs) but should not either be forced or banned in his view.Not to be rude, but this really looked like a case of your personal bias messing up how you interpreted his statements.
