Yes the oligarchs at the top are the most evil and corrupted people ever. Sure. Ok. Understood.
But what does it have to do with Linus and the kernel project ? He is not like vouching for them or even for their specific models. And it’s not like there isn’t open source AI models too. There is, and pretty good one at that.
But no, AI is the obligatory Claude code or chatgpt obviously…
Damn if only Lemmynautes could understand that we can’t be dumb enough to consider AI as one big proprietary monolotic block. It is not and Linus is well aware of that.
And by the way, Linus I’m sure understand very well the agenda of the big evil corps. It’s just not his problem. He is leading the kernel open source project. He is not involved in a crusade against AI and I’m so glad he will focus on that instead of “picking a side”. If there is anybody I trust to use the tech effectively and pragmatically it’s the kernel open source project.
It’s not complicated truly, all AI models are not the same. They dont come from the same business, the same country, they don’t have the same licence.
If we used half the energy we use to vociferate about big corps AI to actually create open source (and copyright respecting) models that would really improve the situation in the future.
It’s more than time for the open source community to wake up and actually create their own models, built ethically and in accord with the OSS ethos.
Obviously, I’m well aware of the destruction of our planet by AI datacenters but again that is a problem for politicians, not freaking Linus Torvald.
I had enough of this “Big AI agenda”.
