With the greatest respect, responding to this comment would be to engage in a discussion of whether Linus is right in this particular instance. I’m not willing to do that because I’m sure that’s a conversation that’s been had a billion times.
I was / am happy to talk about how we injest the opinions of experts in a more general way.

it gets down to whether experts are experts at everything. Linus is not an expert at anything outside of kernel maintenance. His opinions on whether we should use LLMs are null and void considering the massive effect on the planet. It’d be like if a nuclear engineer said we should be building more nuclear bombs for everyone to use, just so they could use nuclear engineer more freely. Like, their opinions about nuclear energy might be fine, but their opinions that have an effect on the entire planet are completely wack.
