And no, that's not the position of the Linux kernel. I realize that some people really dislike AI, but this is an area where I'm willing to absolutely put my foot down as the top-level maintainer. Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it. Or just walk away. AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it's clearly a useful one. It may not have been that "clearly" even just a year ago, but it's no longer in question today. There are other questions around AI (like what the economy of it will actually look like in the end), but "is it useful" is no longer one of those questions. Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn't actually used it.

Bar chart titled "Annual CO₂ savings — diet vs driving vs AI (no flying)." Four actions are compared by tonnes of CO₂ saved per year. Going vegan saves approximately 2.5 tonnes, shown as the longest bar in dark blue. Cutting out car use saves approximately 2.0 tonnes, shown in orange-red. Going vegetarian saves approximately 0.9 tonnes, in medium blue. Cutting personal AI use at 100 queries per day saves only 1 to 18 kilograms — roughly 0.001 to 0.018 tonnes — shown as a bar so short it is nearly invisible. Summary metric cards above the chart highlight: 0.9 t saved per year going vegetarian, 2.5 t going vegan, 2.0 t ditching a car, and 1–18 kg from heavy daily AI use. A footnote states sources include Flight Free UK, ICCT, and Google Cloud's Gemini 2025 disclosure.

linkedin messages: Hi Anirudh, honest question. For teams like yours, where is growth happening these days? Locally, globally, or through partnerships in nearby regions? Anirudh, everyone’s got their own way of building a team. Some like to keep it all internal, others prefer flexible contractors. How do you guys usually handle it? Anirudh, I’ve noticed that more teams are hiring nearshore engineers. Same time zones, faster communication, and cheaper costs than U.S. hires. Curious if Tangled has explored that route, or do you usually prefer keeping things local?
