From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wouldn’t be a proper Linus post without calling everyone else an idiot.
I'm sure he included himself in that group
it's a safe assumption that he didn't given his track record of drama.
Didn’t call everyone an idiot, but he’s not wrong, humans makes mistakes all the time
Yes, but allowing floodgates of AI work to come in it lowers the bar and allow more mistakes to flow in.
Just because humans make mistakes doesn't mean we are ok with shipping mistakes
We pretty much have to make some mistakes in order to learn.
Being overly afraid of making a mistake is a good way to paralize oneself.
