People were calling this out for the bullshit it was back in the day… Marketing wank is marketing wank.

This is no time for joking around…I just wanna know if I can turn my webserver back on yet?! Hello?!? Anyone?!

You’re not wrong with a lot of the substance there, but big tech doesnt own the corpus of AI, and it most certainly will still be around even if you were to dump all of big tech (which I am very much for…!)

I’m not into utilitarianism, just trying to be pragmatic here and not jump on the strong emotional reaction train… Unfortunately, LLMs are really useful tooling …and they simply are not going to go anywhere, so I like to direct efforts to responsible governance, not mob mentality campism.

Shit no go bakie in horsie, lets put the onus and responsibility on the individual and produce better guidelines.

I’m not pro-AI.

It’s based because he’s right. He’s looking at this from a tool standpoint. But too many people are lost the emotional sauce, unable to see the engineering and usefulness beyond how terrible it’s being used. Linus is an engineer, not a politician, not a fuckin business man… You’re all coming at him with the myopic and emotional vigor of evangelists.

We should put the responsibility on the person. Not all funnel into these fucking echo chambers, tone policing everyone’s little divergences from whatever stupid fucking camp you’re part of.

Linus made linux, wtf have you done?? Why should I put any stock into what you have to say?? What long running successes and judgment do you have to show???

You cant put the shit back in the horse, but have fun trying.

If you’re too much of a black/white thinker to be able to have an intelligent and mature conversation, there is nothing I can say to change your emotional response.

With that being said: Fuck big tech, fuck how AI is being used by it and large companies. Period. Full stop.

Putting a different veneer on a nazi bar does not stop it from being a nazi bar, and doesn’t mean you’re not still patronizing it.

It’s lazy enough to vibe code, but when you’re too lazy to even type a prompt…sheeeesh

This is so disingenuous of Hasan…he knows very well that he got banned for being anti-semetic, and unlike Elon, he isn’t a Billionaire/Trillionaire, so banning him scores points while being inconsequential… Oh wait, that isn’t fair?! This sociopath spends 8 hours a day bitching about unfair to his sheeple audience who fund his lavish tastes… You can’t write this reality, it’s simply too fucked.

The theme song to Unsolved Mysteries. My mom would be watching it just when Id goto bed and that song had me pissing myself.

Thanks for the insight

Linus is a tool. I’ve been saying this for a long time. The guy is good at marketing, but he’s very far from what I consider a tech guy. I personally have no idea why his channel has the following it does, and I’ve no idea why some of my friends enjoy his content…which always staggered me because they know more about tech than he does. Hard R, amirite?!../s
