Torvalds and the maintainers are acknowledging reality: developers are going to use AI tools to code faster, and trying to ban them is like trying to ban a specific brand of keyboard.

The author should elaborate on how exactly AI is like “a specific brand of keyboard”. Last I checked a keyboard only enters what I type, without hallucinating 50 extra pages. And if AI, a tool that generates content, is like “a specific brand of keyboard”, does that mean my brain is also a “specific brand of keyboard”?

It's about the heritage of code not being visible from the surface. I don't know about your brain.

    Mastodon has a very singular type of user and circle jerk communities. Maybe it'll grow out of its tweeny phase some day. But until then, it will only attract more of the same crowd. Much to its detriment.

    Without the Meta layer (which you can just not install), the basic smart RayBans are actually pretty nice. The audio is pretty good and it works with any other assistant you may have configured. I wish they had a version without the camera.

    Linux is like the Star Citizen of operating systems: There are people who see the potential and trust things will be fixed. And there's the people who have been around for a while.
