You always hear about when Linus has an outburst, but this was a cogent, relaxed and nice response to a big question.

As per usual, a very good and sane take indeed.

A disappointing take because it contains some broad statements lacking nuance this requires. Comes across like he's just tired of talking about it or whatever. But that's not good enough. As with all things AI, it isn't about the tools or using them, it's about the scale. The scale of impact is immense and we're not ready to handle it in a mutitude of areas because of all the areas technology touches.
