I have a feeling that in order to achieve using deep learning (because let’s face it; it’s not AI) as a programming assistant, AI companies didn’t need to do half the shit they’ve done.

The resources being outright burnt on their endeavours haven’t served any useful purpose. You don’t need data centres covering the globe and to destroy thousands of rare books to assist with code, or find cancer in a scan.

Well, so far Linus is the only person in the world, it seems, that is using AI as a tool instead of a crutch. So I agree with that sentiment.

I keep seeing headlines like this, and of course conveniently leaving out how Torvalds chewed people out for vibe coding.

Torvalds didn’t vibe code away the Linux bug. He actually knows what he’s doing.

I’m using a Firefox based alternative, LibreWolf.
