Reminds me of when Jensen Huang recently compared Linux to OpenClaw and showed this ridiculous GitHub star comparison. To me these projects are incomparable.

It's worth remembering that when people like Jensen talk publicly, they most of time are addressing investors in various indirect and direct ways. Comparing Linux with OpenClaw is obviously bullshit and irrelevant, for almost everyone except clueless investors who like that sort of stuff. He's saying those things for the people who neither understand Linux nor OpenClaw, but have lots of money regardless.

Yeah, GitHub stars is becoming a vanity metric and not indication of quality.

I have been contemplating a rating system for open source software with a mandatory tag for each star. Allows you to filter out perspectives you don’t care about.
