Too bad the old Torvalds has gone, replaced by this mild-mannered gentleman. The idiot submitters could really do with a bit of stern telling-to.

It was a conspiracy from the beginning! AI bros knew they needed to nerf Linus ahead of time in order to succeed!

You’re attributing too much independent though, rationality, intelligence and forward thinking to people that have outsourced their brains to a chatbot - and a meagre one at that. Maybe oooohhh MYTHOS aaaAahhh is recursive self improving???

I don’t know, I can’t tell anymore. I work at Clanker Town, I am knee deep in the braindead, inundated with “ohhh claude code awwww yissss”. Actually, I feel often like I’m nearing the end of a Last Nan Standing type of game and all the rest of humanity has turned into cyber zombies.

So yeah, I might miss this kind of sarcasm. Sorry.
