Linus Torvalds reportedly grimaced as labelled the current state of the AI market as “90% marketing and 10% reality.”

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

"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," Torvalds added, "however, it seems like there is almost too much AI BS around for the Fin to tolerate."

I created a simple shell (zsh) script to help macOS users extract attachments (photos, videos, audio files) and URLs from their iMessages. The script pulls data directly from the Messages database (chat.db), organizes attachments into folders named after each contact or group conversation, and compiles all shared links into CSV files.

This tool can be useful for anyone looking to back up or organize files shared over iMessage without needing the entire conversation history. It also handles macOS's complex storage structure for attachments and works around iCloud-managed files.

No sign-ups or dependencies beyond macOS and SQLite. Just run the script, and it’ll create a neat export folder on your desktop. Would love feedback on any edge cases you encounter!
