The creator of Linux just publicly called out the AI hype. Word for word.
Linus Torvalds took the stage at Open Source Summit 2026 and said this:
"When I see people saying 99% of our code is written by AI, I literally get angry. Because those same people — I can pretty much guarantee — 100% of their code is written by compilers. But they never say that."
He is not anti AI. The Linux kernel saw a 20% jump in submissions this release because of AI tools. He uses it. He gets it.
His point is something most people are too afraid to say.
AI is a productivity tool exactly like compilers were. Compilers boosted programming by 1000x. AI adds another 10x on top. Enormous. But nobody says "the compiler wrote my code." So why are we saying AI wrote it?
He also flagged something nobody is talking about.
AI is flooding small open source projects with drive-by bug reports. Someone runs a prompt, files a report and disappears when asked for a patch. Maintainers with one or two people are drowning trying to keep up.
"Sometimes AI reports a bug and when you ask for more information the person has done that drive-by and does not even answer your question. That is the real burnout issue."
And his final warning was the sharpest of all.
"People who do not understand the complexity of systems will prompt systems and write processes that will fail."
The AI hype crowd is very loud right now.
Linus has been building real systems for 35 years. When he talks, engineers listen.

Are you looking to move your podcast/speech content to a decentralized platform, that allows your listeners to listen/interact without being tracked, no 3rd party connections/trust and no risk of censorship?
DM me your ideas/specs, I dont mind helping.
The world deserves better.
Seems people need better platforms/systems to speak on.
Apparently only people that can build one, will have one for themselves.
Can be done in a variety of ways.
Start building your way, stop depending on megacorps to deliver civilization sustaining tools.

Taking as stab at this now.
So the $DERO community's voice can live entirely on network, trust free, for real and sustainable public topic focused discussion.
Podcast audio, connected focused forums, maybe an article proposal system as well, with no 3rd party providers/servers.

😯 The editor. The renderer. The animation engine. The WASM runtime.
All on-chain. All assembled on demand. All running locally.
No accounts. No AWS. No Cloudflare. No terms of service. No external connections.
This is what digital sovereignty looks like.
$dero
Deployed the first all on-chain pixel art avatar editor, library and data source for providing users with visual identity tools, all while retaining privacy in social spaces, with no outside connections or trusted providers?

In 2027 your car can be turned off without your consent.
By 2030 what else can be turned off:
- Your money
- Your electricity
- Your ability to travel
- Social media
- Internet
- Education
- Healthcare
- Tokenized diploma, medical records
- Appliances
- Phone
It doesn’t stop with your car.

Youtube just banned a podcast while I was halfway through the episode.
It would be great if the American politicians that complain about the dire state of Freedom of Speech in Europe could at the very least stop American (!) companies from banning and censoring European nationalists.
Is the absolute bare minimum of support really too much to ask?

Hang on, you're getting a democracy award?
You imposed martial law on Canada because peaceful truckers were honking their horns at you.
You threw your critics in prison and seized their bank accounts without legal process.
Four judges in a row called it illegal, you crook.

Grateful to be in New York Friday night and honoured to receive the Heroes of Democracy Award from @RenewDemocracy.
When they lived behind the Iron Curtain, Ukrainians and people throughout the USSR looked to America as the City on the Hill - the foremost fighter for freedom in the world. That inspiring leadership is so important to cherish and remember. Because a world in which America supports tyranny abroad and suppresses freedom at home is a world where democracy everywhere is weaker.
Standing firm for Ukraine and for liberal democracy everywhere has never mattered more.

They'll do it again and again, whenever they want, too.
There are great technical solutions to the trust and data exposure problems, it's up to the people to use and contribute to them.

NeverCast 2.0 cleared pre op staging clean & untouchable. From today through Saturday we are stress testing it against theoretical quantum threats.
Hey surveillance states & three letter watchers try keeping up with quantum proof decentralization :)

This is, quite frankly, disgusting. Freeland colluded with bank CEO’s to unconstitutionally and unlawfully freeze Canadians bank accounts with NO order from a judge or any parliamentary oversight. She giggled like a school girl when she delivered her announcement that would leave families with no way to pay their mortgages, buy medication for their children, pay their child support, or feed their families. We have text messages from bureaucrats trying to reason with her, perhaps even (GASP!) speak with organizers, but our (s)elected civil servants don’t speak to us little folk in the genpop.
She is no hero for democracy and continues to fail upwards, the Liberal way.

Chrystia Freeland just won the “Hero of Democracy” award for illegally invoking the Emergencies Act, freezing the bank accounts of peaceful protesters, and having their heads smashed into the pavement during the Freedom Convoy.
Oh… and let’s not forget the time she tried to funnel billions to a company that didn’t even exist.

Since everyone is pocket watching, here's Nick on having his assets frozen by the federal government.
"All of that concentrated power in Washington DC is being turned inwardly and wielded by politicians against Americans. That's the total end of a free society"
