Linus Torvalds about AI

[Taylor Otwell @taylorotwell]

Been coding with AI a lot this week and it's wild how much of an edge real architecture knowledge still is.

Seeing frontier models constantly reach for the wrong abstractions. Easy to course-correct, but only if you already know what good looks like.

@PovilasKorop @LaravelLiveUK Great seeing you again today and v interesting talk as usual. 👍

The GCSE Maths curriculum needs less geometry and more statistics. The average person is never going to need to work out the cosine of an angle in their adult life, but they *do* need to know how to identify when data from companies/politicians/etc is misleading.

@PovilasKorop AI prompting is a skill in itself. There are many strategies and tools to be successful and it is quickly evolving. It would be an interesting channel.

Been saying this from the start, both IRL and tech jobs will stick around and mutate. Let’s skip the neo luddite talk.

Adoption of AI enhances developer productivity, shifting their value towards delivering greater business impact and fostering the creation of more, higher value roles.

@bobbybouwmann great chatting tonight. I think we are both headed in the same direction. Would love to collaborate further if you are keen.

Haven’t watched a full episode of #BBCQT in years. Most enjoyable to watch Farage getting his arse handed to him by Campbell over Brexit. But the star turn was this guy.

The polls are open! I don't care who you vote for but vote! People have died to get you the right to vote. In their memory use it. And don't forget your ID - a guide to what you need https://t.co/Yb3VnBdH3T even if it is out of date as long as photo looks like you it is fine

Congratulations to @WayneBarnesRef, who has been awarded an OBE for his services to rugby union in the King’s Birthday Honours! 👏

Truss and Johnson’s resignation honours were a disgrace. It’s time to reform the House of Lords.
