Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ - Lemmy.World

What happened to Linus? He looks so old now…
He got old.
Not especially old, though; he looks like a 54yo dev. Reminds me of my uncles when they were 54yo devs.
As a 46 year old dev I’m starting to look that way too.
I guess having 3 kids will do that to you.
That, and developing software for 30+ years.

That and leading an open source project for 30 years.

THE open source project.

Whether you’re leading a project or not, time will have pretty much the same impact. He’s in his mid-50s, and he looks pretty good for that age.
I mean he’s aging quite well given his position… Many people burn out way earlier.
[citation needed]^/s^
That’s an excessive amount of aging is what folks are seeing. Not that he’s just old.
He’s 54, I think he looks pretty average for that age. He looks like an old dad, because he is.
I told him not to go to that beach.
What happened to he is happening now to you.
Wow, yeah that’s a big difference
People age. You don’t look the same as in 2010 either, I know that without having any idea what you look like.
He has a real Michael McKean vibe
It’s like he aged 10 years in the past 2 years… damn
Oxidative stress is a bitch
If you find out what happened, let me know, because I think it’s happening to me too.
