> Nobody has suggested that blockchain technology be used to assist with the development of software in the way that LLMs are. It simply doesn’t make sense.

Linus Torvalds is a strong advocate. He even wrote a blockchain-based source code management system, which he dubbed “the information manager from hell”[0], spending over three months on it (six months, by his own account) before handing it over to others to maintain.

People complain that this “information manager” system is hard to understand, but it's actively used (alongside email) for coordinating the Linux kernel project. Some say it's crucial to Linux's continued success, or even that it's more important than Linux.
