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.

Wow, that's an incredibly stupid take. Like, the kind that you generally expect from brainwashed dumbasses that don't even know what is the difference between a screen and a computer.
That's scary that people would listen to a guy that completely lost his understanding of reality.
"Everyone who disagrees with me is stupid" - your brain on idealism
"Everyone who disagrees with me is stupid" - your brain on slop machines
Like that's Linus's entire point. "I'm smart, you're dumb. Fall in line". Not great
Nah, Linus's entire point is that LLMs are just a tool people use to build things, and drawing some arbitrary line between the tools you're used to and ones you're not is idiotic.
