32 years after creating Linux, Linus Torvalds was asked if AI-written code worries him: “Developers already write an enormous number of bugs every day.” In 4 minutes he explains why LLMs are another step in programming’s evolution, from machine code to assembly, C, Rust and now natural language. His most practical use case is not replacing developers. It is reviewing code and catching stupid patterns that compilers miss. Most people debate whether AI will hallucinate. Linus is more interested in whether it can catch the mistakes humans already ship.
