I fixed it to correctly compare it to the Amish. Who are just against all use of technology beyond a point.
Linus is very obviously talking about the worker using a tool.
Y’all found a fake pedantic win and rushed me on it because winning is more important than conversations. Kudos on that.
Yeah that’s a great reply if you were trying to competitively comment but 99.9% of the online discourse against ai is completely against it. Including most of the discourse on this post.
Luddite is not the correct term. These folks are more dogmatic against Ai while Linus is literally talking about workers using it as a tool to make their work easier.
Very interesting. Great knowledge, thank you. I guess I’ll have to revert to calling it being like the Amish.
Linus is talking about the worker using the technology. He likens it to other tools used in his trade. I don’t see him arguing about who should see the profits from the technology.
I think being dogmatic about strictly not using AI is not empowering the workers who would benefit from utilizing the tool in the correct context.
Exactly! And then before I could start watching the people that won’t rise up came online bragging about how brave and great Andor is.
This is sadly why I couldn’t get into andor :(
That’s weird, I didn’t see anyone approving of those things in the original posted text and I definitely didn’t imply any of that with my comment.
Unless I was mistaken this was about Linus saying that using ai is akin to using any other tool.
Actually with some thought, you’ve convinced me.
Hell the printing press is being used by our oppressors to kill the earth. I will be deleting my account and from here on out I will only communicate and read through hand written notes.
Lmao your hero is here to call you out on your dogmatic Amish stance and you lot just outright reject him. Absolutely wild.
The misconception is with what these pages are. They are not public forums. They are the personally dictated and directed blog of the moderators, they allow the public to contribute but have final say on publishing.
Once you realize these are ignorant kids blogs it makes sense that you would get banned for trying to have a discussion instead of perpetuating whatever world view they are trying to spew.
They only exist to hold your hand and tell you it’s okay as they pull us further down with their friends from across the aisle.
And why isn’t your boy Schumer denouncing this crap? He’s busy representing Israel in the American political system huh? Can’t help a supposed political ally.
How about we give them a platform instead?https://www.npr.org/2026/09/15/nx-s1-5960470/as-ai-execs-worry-publicly-bill-gates-would-like-a-word
It’s 2029. We’re all in a concentration camp. Somebody next to me suggests violence may be the answer. Me and the rest of the prisoners beat that guy to death so we don’t get in trouble from the guards. We then form a prisoners union and demand our rights are returned. Then we’re swiftly put to death.
The do nothing moralists dunking on any righteous rhetoric again.
Hard to stand up without getting made an example of when everyone around you is bent over.
Lmao. No amount of framing will make these useless jaunts down town seem useful.
Um excuse me… you’re supposed to shout “This is what democracy looks like!”
This post was probably just bait to get a Linux circle jerk going.
Before anyone picks a side, ask yourself if you would root for the empire to defeat Luke and his followers in starwars.
Unfortunately I wasn’t born with enough privilege to attempt to question a tsa agent. I get randomly selected enough as it is.
Nobody got blasted by either definition. This is more doing nothing then patting yourselves on the back.
God forbid anyone say boo against the narrative trying to be spun.
These kind of pathetic tabloid articles do nothing but embolden the evil that is musk and his followers.
This is what pissed me off about the whole attack on the Saudi comedian group.
There is effectively no difference between working for Saudi government or working for billionaires in a venue like Gillette stadium.
None whatsoever. The only difference is that American slavery and murders are offshored to brown folks out of sight instead of in your face like Saudi.
