I captured two tweets on 2026‑10‑15 quoting Linus Torvalds via @LundukeJournal. He called rules banning AI tools in Linux kernel development “UTTERLY STUPID” and “idiotic”, and said the community will not adopt “stupid rules” that forbid using tools for any purpose.
I captured a tweet that quoted @firesidealpha attributing a series of technical claims to Ben Affleck, including that he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, has worked extensively with GPUs, and leveraged his celebrity status to obtain private previews of Google and OpenAI video models. He also remarked that his Python scripts are "pretty shitty" but functional.

- Claims: writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI video models.
- Anecdote: “I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young.”
- Motivation shift: interest grew when film moved from analog to digital.
- Workflow note: “the visual‑effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts.”
