Ah yes, because even a single fucking percent of people that use an interpreter or compiler understand how they work, let alone can create one, or validate their output.
Have you heard of open weight models, or are you just willfully ignorant?
using proprietary tech whose purpose is to hook you and then enshittify after you become reliant on it

“Psst… Hey guy…ya want uncanny waifu images? Ya wanna code faster? Ya wanna write your own kernel? Make a game without thinking too hard? Heh heh…first thousand tokens are free, buddy. Heh heh heh. (Wink)”
OMG, yes! Why didn’t I think of that before!? I’m gonna be a psychology doctor and rename all my hallucinating patients as “Claude” and BAM! They become genius now!
Local models are still controlled by a small group of people, in the sense of deciding how and with what to train the thing. And given the cost of doing so, you can’t just easily fork it and make adjustments yourself.
hes comparing knowing how open concepts work vs using proprietary tech whose purpose is to hook you and then enshittify after you become reliant on it

but local models exist, they are a direct threat to anthropic/OpenAi/Xai thats why we must invest our time to make proprietary models irrelevant.
Except Linus is using Claude.

Which is very different from compilers, especially for large languages with existing open source code. Those you just change willy nilly, as you want.
