Misleading title, there's another major reason: it's an embargo agreement violation that jeopardizes Linux support on PS5.

    You shouldn't, unless you're producing a bunch of code you don't understand.

    you might be OK with calling everybody using LLMs a bunch of noobs. I disagree. this has nothing to do with my own usage.

    I don't think he was calling everybody that is using LLMs a bunch of noobs. I think he was calling the people using LLMs to submit code they don't understand a bunch of noobs. I think if the patches were well reasoned and could be talked about in detail by their submitters, he'd have much less of a complaint.
