⚡️‼️ NEW - Linus Torvalds told Linux kernel developers this week that Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects and that AI is now a clearly useful tool.
He says AI's usefulness was still arguable a year ago but no longer is, and that the doubters simply haven't used the tools. Nobody is forced to use AI, but he will ignore anyone trying to stop others from using it. Anyone who wants an anti-AI project, he says, can fork the code or walk away.
In 2024, Torvalds dismissed AI as mostly marketing. By this January he was shipping AI-generated Python in his own hobby repo, and the kernel now accepts AI-written code under disclosure rules.
