The creator of Linux just publicly called out the AI hype. Word for word.
Linus Torvalds took the stage at Open Source Summit 2026 and said this:
"When I see people saying 99% of our code is written by AI, I literally get angry. Because those same people — I can pretty much guarantee — 100% of their code is written by compilers. But they never say that."
He is not anti AI. The Linux kernel saw a 20% jump in submissions this release because of AI tools. He uses it. He gets it.
His point is something most people are too afraid to say.
AI is a productivity tool exactly like compilers were. Compilers boosted programming by 1000x. AI adds another 10x on top. Enormous. But nobody says "the compiler wrote my code." So why are we saying AI wrote it?
He also flagged something nobody is talking about.
AI is flooding small open source projects with drive-by bug reports. Someone runs a prompt, files a report and disappears when asked for a patch. Maintainers with one or two people are drowning trying to keep up.
"Sometimes AI reports a bug and when you ask for more information the person has done that drive-by and does not even answer your question. That is the real burnout issue."
And his final warning was the sharpest of all.
"People who do not understand the complexity of systems will prompt systems and write processes that will fail."
The AI hype crowd is very loud right now.
Linus has been building real systems for 35 years. When he talks, engineers listen.

Max Planck hat es nochmal besonders nett vorgerechnet:
Selbst wenn man ALLE Anschaffungs- und Einrichtungskosten für Windkraft, PV, Speicher, Netze und Endverbraucher berücksichtigt:
Europa kann durch Energiewende unterm Strich 600 Milliarden € sparen.
Keine Ausreden mehr.
Mir scheint „Nius“ ist nur bekannt, weil es dauernd von Leuten geteilt wird, die darauf hinweisen, dass man es nicht lesen soll. So wird mir das Medium mehrmals am Tag in die Timeline gespült und wird gut beworben…
A historic video showing a russian multiple rocket launcher Grad firing at the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, while another is firing exactly in the opposite direction, at Donetsk.
And there's your answer to the question of who "bombed Donbass for eight years."
BREAKING:
Israel is dropping white phosphorus bombs on civilian areas in the village of Arnoun, Nabatieh, South Lebanon.
These are internationally banned munitions — and Israel is unleashing them against civilians.
Ever since Putin’s 2022 blitzkrieg failed, his theory of victory has rested on a single assumption: that time was on its side, and that sooner or later the West would offer at the negotiating table what Moscow could not achieve on the battlefield.
Now, as that illusion fades, the Kremlin is escalating tensions with NATO in a last attempt to lure the West into a negotiation trap, fracture support for Ukraine, and divert us from our course.
We see this strategy for what it is. And our message remains: the only way to end the suffering is simple: end the aggression, withdraw behind Russia’s internationally recognized borders, and stay there.
