then distros need to start rejecting any linus contributed code and fork the kernel.
Honestly you’d have to fork an entire distro because at this point shameless AI development is taking place from the bottom to the top. Debian, KDE, kernel, etc.
Just what the Linux community needs, more fragmentation
Open source when someone forks something for a reason that aligns with my worldview: “The beauty of open source! Anyone can fix a problem!”

I genuinely can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not and that makes me uneasy.
A fork would need lots of initiative from existing kernel developers. Distro people are more of userspace integrators, less system programmers. I think distros will experiment with rebasing against different kernels, maybe a revival of Debian GNU/kFreeBSD or something. At the end of the day though, it’s up to laptop and phone manufacturers whether to put money into developing hardware support on top of those.
Is this the one where the LLM generated code introduced some severe bug (memory leak or buffer overflow or something), then Linus went on vacation and another dude cleaned it up?
https://lkml.iu.edu/2610.1/13698.html afaik
If yes, then it annoys me that the articles on this are so biased. Because it actually shows the middle ground reality of using LLMs in development instead of the utopia/dystopia extreme views we keep seing online.
went on vacation and another dude cleaned it up
the utopia/dystopia extreme views we keep seing
It’s almost like the person going on vacation comes away with a positive view, and the person cleaning up after them comes away with a negative view . . .
Racing condition between threads. But yeah I believe its this one.
Did AI generate that?
?
Did AI generate that race condition commit of linus?
Maybe Linus saw the race condition but just fixed it badly, again. https://dirtycow.ninja/ “This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once (badly) by me 11 years ago in commit 4ceb5db9757a… but that was then undone due to problems on s390 by [another] commit.”
(sorry, I thought by “that” you meant my comment or the content of the link or something else)
As far as I understand, Linus did an LLM assisted coding session that resulted in code with a race condition. But to what extend he or the LLM is specifically responsibe for the bug, we don’t know because he didn’t share the session, only the result.
I believe Linus has clearly stated his position that he is specifically responsible for the bug, regardless of whether he uses LLM agents, Ouija boards, or vim to create it.
Thanks, I thought he only now started using LLM’s in commits to write code, based on the article.
But I haven’t really followed him closely
Yes we get it, he drank the Kool-AId…
Man, this is going to garner a lot of hate by people who hate AI just by virtue of it being AI.
Nobody hates AI 'by virtue of being AI", there are a dozen different legitimate problems.
Yes that’s us
Welcome to Lemmy, where the hive mind has decided progress is bad, and will criticize anyone who disagrees until they either shut up or become one with the hive mind. People who still speak their own disagreement are the minority, and are rewarded with copious downvotes. They’ve made up their mind, and discourse is heavily discouraged.
You can’t just put every anti AI sentiment into the “progress is bad” bin, if you do that is the same type of behaviour as a hive mind. Many people have legitimate concerns about AI but equally many conflate AI with billionaires who exploit resources (to develope and sell AI products) for their own gain. In general, most people conflict with progress because progress is greatly in the monopoly of billionaires who have no qualms for using those progresses for exploitation.
