“90% Marketing 10% Reality”

Linux Creator roasted the AI Bubble

I know I haven’t posted properly in a while in this publication, approximately 10 days now. And I’m sorry about that. I’ve been so busy with publishing on Wall Street Gradient (my other publication dealing with the US Stock Market News and Analysis)

However, Quantum Information Review is back and here to stay babies!

Expect daily articles here once again. I will not let my Quantum Computing and AI folks get deprived of knowledge (even if I have to rip my skin off to work 🫡)

Linus Torvalds Just Roasted the AI Industry — And He’s Not Wrong

Linus Torvalds — the guy who basically built modern computing — just dropped his unfiltered thoughts on AI.
His verdict?

“90% marketing, 10% reality.”

Brutal. Accurate. And honestly, long overdue.

At the Open Source Summit in Vienna, Torvalds gave a grimace-filled rant about AI’s hype problem, saying:

“I think AI is really interesting, and I think it is going to change the world. And, at the same time, I hate the hype cycle so much that I really don’t want to go there.”

This man has seen every tech bubble rise and fall. And right now? AI is the next crypto.

Torvalds’ Coping Strategy: Just Ignore It

AI hype is so insufferable that even Linus — who literally invented Linux — is just tuning it out.

“So my approach to AI right now is I will basically ignore it because I think the whole tech industry around AI is in a very bad position.”

Honestly? Respect.

We’re living in an era where every startup is slapping “AI-powered” on their website and praying for VC funding.
The reality? Most of these “AI” companies are just API wrappers for OpenAI with a fancy UI.

Even the biggest players — Google, Microsoft, OpenAI — are spending billions to convince us that AGI is right around the corner. Meanwhile, AI models are hallucinating math problems and making up legal cases.
