That’s the false dichotomy gospel of social media, that says only two extreme polar opposite opinions are possible on any issue, and anyone who claims otherwise is secretly on whichever side is wrong. But I agree, most controversial discussions are nothing but mud fights because few people bother to think about the nuances of an issue. They take in minimal information and make a value judgement based mostly on preconceptions, so they can scroll on to the next item as fast as possible.

Evidence would make that an argument. Without it what you have is a hypothesis. I have a hypothesis that people die from the knock-on effects of social media, but here we are doing it without demonizing ourselves.

I already agreed some things deserve zero tolerance, so obviously there’s a line. If AI killed someone or gave the user shooting pains every ten times it was used then I would call it a failed attempt to make a tool. But the relevance of this escapes me.

Some things do, but work technique isn’t one of them.

I know it’s early, but so far y’all just throwin’ rocks. No intelligent criticism whatsoever of the content you just read (you did read it, right?) - nothing but low-effort jeers. Linus is saying he expects high quality work and doesn’t accept a shotgun zero-tolerance mindset against how it’s produced. What, in concrete terms, is actually wrong with that?

In other words, you found an article whose headline seems to make your point for you - which you probably didn’t even read or you might have an actual answer. I did read it, and found the reasoning spurious, like jumping through a series of philosophical hoops to prove all taxes are illegal or that birds don’t exist. The author’s example of a Chinese dish with an unusually large amount of chopped peppers being more easily eaten with chopsticks than with a fork, could just as well have been a bowl of broth that’s much easier to eat with a spoon than with chopsticks. All it demonstrates is that any tool can have appropriate and inappropriate use cases. They’re still just tools.

Billionairess own grocery stores and every other type of thing. That would be a stupid reason to hate any of those things.

lolwat? Hating one thing just because you hate another thing sounds completely irrational.

This. Tools work as well as you use them. Absolutist hatred of AI is just brain slop.

Tbh it kind of looks like a case of, “Heads: we leave it up and get called fascist for having a fascist endorsement. Tails: we take it down and get called closet fascists for hiding getting a fascist endorsement.”
