Linus: AI's Usefulness is Beyond Debate
georgemillo · x · 2026-07-16
A statement from Linus regarding AI was reposted and commented on: if people are still arguing over whether AI is actually a useful assistant tool, their datasets probably just haven't been updated yet.
The quote also mentioned his belief that, at least at this current stage, AI is no longer a question of "whether it's useful," but rather an ongoing force that will continue to impact economic structures and the way we work.
