Linus Torvalds created Linux at 21 from his mother's apartment, he just gave the most balanced and brutal AI take of anyone in tech.
Torvalds says AI is clearly a bubble and clearly a revolution, and the marketing around it is sick, twisted, and headed for a crash.
"I'm a huge believer in AI. I'm not a huge believer in the whole things going on around AI. I find the marketing and the market to be sick and twisted, and there is going to be a crash and it's going to be ugly."
"It's clearly both. It's clearly a bubble and at the same time it's very interesting and I think it will change society and I think it will change how most skilled jobs get done."
On AI training data and the artistic community's outrage:
"That's reality. Deal with it. That genie is out of the bottle. You're not getting it back whether you're a photographer who's out of work or a programmer who has to learn to deal with a new reality."
On vibe coding specifically, the idea that anyone can code by just prompting AI:
"Vibe coding is great for getting into programming. I think it's going to be a horrible thing to maintain."
"I don't think programmers go away. You still want to have the people who know how to maintain the end result."
