In case it wasn't already clear, Linus Torvalds clarified that he doesn't care a bit about the ethical issues or licensing issues of AI coding agents, he only cares about the technology.

It's also quite ironic for a man known for hating a lot of things over the years to call other people "AI haters".

Found earlier via @tante on bsky. A capturing of the overwhelming feeling of dread, exasperation, sadness and resignation that many of us have about the pointless obsession of AI around us.

These #Maine #librarians are helping patrons resist #AI and #BigTech

by Bridget Huber, July 2, 2026

"In recent months, the #SearsmontME Town Library has added a new service for patrons: Help in removing AI from their phones and other devices.

" 'A lot of times, it’s just telling people that they have choices,' Library Director #StevenBrown said. 'Their phone came a certain way, but they don’t have to use it the way that it came.'

"Brown helps patrons disable AI-powered assistants like Siri or so-called smart features in email and switch from using Google, which doesn’t offer an option to search without AI overviews, to a browser that does.

"A big part of his job as a librarian has been helping people with information technology, he said. He sees helping people think critically about technology and AI as a natural extension of this work.

"While Brown’s long been skeptical of the purported benefits of technology for society, he didn’t start offering the #AIRemoval services until this spring, when he attended a webinar presented by #HannahCyrus, a #BangorME librarian who has become a leading voice in a nationwide movement of librarians who are working to help patrons understand the risks of AI and other technologies.

" 'I seem to have become the face of #AIHaters — which I’m fine with — in the library world,' Cyrus said.

"Cyrus, a reference librarian at the Bangor Public Library, teaches classes on how to use technology. But that doesn’t mean uncritically embracing and promoting it, she said.

" 'I really try to make sure people not only know where to tap or click to get done what they want to do, but to understand the values and issues at play as they’re using different pieces of technology,' she said.

"Commonly used tools like Gmail and Chat GPT are not neutral, she said. 'These are products created by giant #corporations who want your information and want your attention,' she said. “And that has real impacts on our lives.”

"The most popular class Cyrus has taught is called #AvoidingAI, which explains what #GenerativeAI is, some of the concerns around it, and how to disable it and find alternatives. The first time she taught the class in fall of 2025 more than 70 people enrolled. She taught it again this spring, and Brown was one of 20 Maine librarians to enroll. "

The US will lose this AI race to China not only because of a bunch of ignorant and blind #AIhaters and losers who refuse to adopt to this powerful new technology, but also because of an ignorant government that fails to understand, analyze, and create a long term strategy protecting its dominance in this new technology, to educate the public, to develop a real educational curriculum that can fully utilize this technology.

In the past, some Anglo Masto users were agitated more so than usual at the mention of #Ai skill levels. The OECD framework has standardised competency levels.

As applied to AI, these translate as;

L0 – Emerging: Can use AI only with significant guidance; struggles to assess outputs or formulate effective requests.

L1 – Basic: Uses AI for simple questions and routine tasks.

L2 – Functional: Uses AI independently for everyday work and learning.

L3 – Competent: Evaluates AI outputs critically and applies domain knowledge.

L4 – Advanced: Uses AI for complex analysis, problem-solving, and workflow design.

L5 – Expert: Creates AI-driven systems, methodologies, and strategic solutions while understanding limitations and risks.

Most, if not all #Aihaters fall into Leve 0 or Level 1 at best. It's not an insult. It's a statement of fact. You can't have competency in something you hate.

Using AI is a learned skill.
If you are unskilled, your competency is zero to low.
