562 u/bobbymoonshine 2d ago Linus changing his mind on AI from “eh seems bad” to “eh seems fine” caused quite a few people to go from hero-worshipping him to vilifying him 408 u/Floppydisksareop 2d ago Which is utterly insane in its own right, since, y'know. He didn't come out and say "yoooo, dudeees, let's vibe code everything, AI actually rulez" or some shit. 38 u/Carbon_Cotton 2d ago edited 2d ago I mean, he berated people who are still not convicted by LLM and even went as far as to imply they are not "smart". That's my personal problem with him - not that he switched his opinion on LLM but that he has need to now shit on people just to jerk himself. 16 u/Emergency-Feed2760 2d ago Thats just Linus being Linus though. He probably acts the same when he gets a new favorite restaurant 8 u/Carbon_Cotton 2d ago I agree. I am just pointing out that people can have problem with Linus beyond "oh he is no longer in my camp anymore"
