In addition to Linus Torvalds' recent comments around AI tooling documentation, it turns out in fact that Linus Torvalds has been using vibe coding himself. Over the holidays Linus Torvalds has been working on a new open-source project called AudioNoise that was started with the help of AI vibe coding.

Over the winter holidays, Linus Torvalds routinely works on new hobbies and the like. Last year he started creating his own guitar pedals as a hobby. Or as he put it back in the Linux 6.13-rc7 announcement, "LEGO for grown-ups with a soldering iron."

Sure, and I also think it’s important to realize that an open-weight LLM pretty much negates the problem of content theft. If you’re ignoring copyright, it’s only fair that you share alike. I don’t think it’s wrong to ingest all of humanity’s knowledge so long as you give it to all of humanity.

The big commercial LLMs are the issue here, because they hoard the data for profit.
