    Linus can fuck right off, hes made it clear that his time has come and gone. We should all just move on and leave him to his delusions.

        Linus likes AI, Linus can fuck off.

        Torvalds has also declared “Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects,” and therefore all-but-welcomed machine-made contributions to the project.

          You and anyone else are free to fork — if there’s any significant support for this opinion from people who know what they’re doing, something else will emerge.

          Many don’t mind too much because this isn’t vibecoding, but rather raking the massive codebase for known types of bugs.

          I’m not a big fan of AI myself, and I think most of it’s use cases are over hyped. But in this case, AI is used to find vulnerabilities in the linux kernel. Vulnerabilities that any script kiddy can now also find very easily using AI. So it makes sense for developers to use the same tools.

          As for now, the code to patch these vulnerabilities, are written by the developers and they have responsibility for the code they commit. I don’t know if some of them use AI to generate code, but I would suspect they read it through very thoroughly before committing.

            I am aware of how he is using it I don’t care. The enviromental impact of current LLMs is beyond irresponsible.

            In a perfect world where it wasn’t using all of our power and water and land then I wouldn’t give single shit.
