"Useful" is not sufficient
So Linus Torvalds, head of the Linux kernel development, put his foot down on the Linux Kernel development mailing list when someone was bringing up criticism of LLMs: “Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issueswith that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it. Or just walk away. […]

LLMs Are Accelerating the Open Source Sustainability Crisis
Adam Wathan, the creator of Tailwind CSS, has been speaking about how LLMs have made his project more popular than ever…while also making it fall apart financially, causing him to fire 75% of his engineers. “I think AI is a huge reason why our business is struggling, even though it’s making Tailwind more popular than ever.” — Adam Wathan (12:03) How is this possible? A major cause is that LLMs are blocking Tailwind’s creators and users from forming a relationship with each other.
