Linus be like:
- “I only care about the final results and the correctness”
- Me looks inside
- Final results are shit and code is just slop
Ahhh, I love AI and Linus and how they’re enshittifying everything /s
Seriously, how would anyone in their right mind think that AI can be used responsibly? The only acceptable level of AI use is zero or a negative number.


Right, there are a lot of issues with IA that are worth criticizing. Pretending like it’s not getting pretty fucking good at coding and other stuff is counterproductive. If it wasn’t people wouldn’t use it more and more.
This is a non-sequiter. There are thousands of reasons a person might use something that makes them worse.
I didn’t say anything about how good it is at coding.
But, if you did ask me, I would say that as a professional software developer that now is forced to work with AI, it’s really not good at programming. I have to heavily hold its hand, and whenever a non-developer at my company tries making some software with AI, it’s either awfully unreadable code, full of bugs, or, most often, both. I’m working with all the latest Claude Code models btw.
And even if it were that good at programming, I still don’t think it’s worth the cost.
People use bad things all the time. People are still on Twitter and Facebook and they both fucking suck. People still smoke.
