Developer loktar00 points out that the most respected devs in the industry have been some of the loudest pro-AI voices: Linus Torvalds, John Carmack and Tim Sweeney are all on board, and draginol runs models locally. The post pushes back at an AI-skeptic on X, implying a random critic's take weighs little against these legends' collective bet. The attached image is a tribute collage of Linux Tux, Quake, Doom and a strategy game, nodding to their classic works.
