From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

He consistently describes LLMs as "bullshit generators" so the LLM being local doesn't help that much. It's better for privacy but that's a separate matter.
stallman has always been flowery with his language and to be fair they can be bullshit generators. I doubt he sees no value in them but I have not really heard any of his talks on them.
Look at his blog on stallman.org. It comes up all the time there.
yeah im seeing what was my estimation of what his opinion would be. Take this for example:
" I agree that bullshit summaries (as they are now) are a bad thing, partly because they are made by programs which are not intelligent, so they are often confused and misrepresent what the site really says."
as they stand now would suggest they have some sort of promise. Mostly what I see is him railing against treating their output as intelligent when summarizing and that they lack understanding of their output because. well. they are not intelligent. I fully agree with him here.
