@algernon@come-from.mad-scientist.club Yeah, like I told a friend the kernel is only FOSS due to some happy circumstances of what was going around at the time. Linus just didn't care.
But it still feels like surely, surely, after all this time he should have picked something up. But apparently what he picked up was "being the boss", and we all know how bosses love the idea of AI.

But apparently what he picked up was "being the boss", and we all know how bosses love the idea of AI. Thing is, he never wanted to pick anything up. He wants to hack on the kernel, using whatever tools he sees fit, and everyone else should adapt. He was never open to being more than that. Which, on some level, is fair. We shouldn't force people into roles they're not comfortable with.
