Webber-e-bop@justbob @cmccullough no, it will not make it into the kernel.
It's for the distros to decide.
I'd put money on Ubuntu being the first but Debian, not so much. (Even though Ubuntu is a copy of Debian)
@justbob @cmccullough I believe Ubuntu is based on Debian.
But yeah, since Ubuntu is more directed towards the casual user I would expect it to adopt AI first. And the devs have been known to stick with decisions many don't like.

Kaito@justbob @cmccullough Linux ≠ Linux Foundation. The LF is full of corporate nonsense which should be obvious looking at their top members.

IMO nothing to worry about.

Nivex 🐧 📻@cmccullough @xgranade "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
Cassandra is only carbon now@nivex @cmccullough I don't know that Linux Foundation was ever quite the hero, so much as a very pragmatic compromise with institutionalism. A lot of good folks worked and continue working on making that an effective compromise, but I read shit like this as the downside of trying to work within institutional power.
eblu@cmccullough I'm going to play devil's advocate and say that if tech companies are going to chase after the bubble then I'd rather it be open than proprietary. it's far from the most ideal outcome but not the worst one either
Analog AI@cmccullough people must be being paid or otherwise bribed to get on board at a time when even financial publications are getting squeamish about AI.

@cmccullough @alice They want to make sure people stay on Windows. Why move if they're no differences between the twos 🫠
@Em0nM4stodon @alice @cmccullough I was experimenting with FreeBSD on my laptop recently, as a daily driver (wanted to write a review on this OS), and then shit like this hits the fan...Thats sad, but also an ironic timing I guess. 
🍀March Mastodoness🍀@Em0nM4stodon @cmccullough @alice It'll ultimately be up to each distro to either adopt this or shoot it dead just to be sure.
Faraiwe@cmccullough Oh. Hell. No.

Dane 🌎🖖✌️☮️⚛️☸️🕉️@cmccullough The companies involved in the funding are looking to fuck Linux users. "You can't get away from us."
Well fuck all that.
I will fight this shit to my dying breath. I'm no developer, so I'll just have to advocate for AI-free Linux. I think there does need to be a very serious discussion on developing an AI-free version of Linux. We need to be proactive and look at this as a war.

AlexTECPlayz@TheLastOfHisName This has nothing to do with Linux besides just being a project formed by the Linux Foundation.
Its projects are the Model Context Protocol, goose AI agent and AGENTS.md, all useful stuff IMO, but not necessarily related to the Linux kernel.
@alextecplayz Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification!
dark_stang@TheLastOfHisName @cmccullough the "Linux foundation" has basically nothing to do with linux. It's just a bunch of other corporations in a trench coat.
Krzysztof Sakrejda@cmccullough that's so gross
Thorium@cmccullough Truly garbage in garbage out.

🟣@cmccullough bubbles gonna pop before the foundation does anything
Papa Exmatrikulatus 🏴🏳️🌈@cmccullough What a bunch of sellouts..
Arthfach 🐻@cmccullough It's honestly a good thing that they do very little that is relevant to anyone who actually works in the real world. Unfortunate that they have a couple relevant projects, but those can be replaced/forked/what-have-you as needed.
staringatclouds@cmccullough Sideways
Jan Penfrat"The Agentic #AI Foundation aims for a neutral, open foundation to ensure agentic AI evolves transparently and collaboratively."
and:
"Platinum Members of the new Agentic AI Foundation include #Amazon Web Services, #Anthropic, Block, Bloomberg, Cloudflare, #Google, #Microsoft, and #OpenAI."
is all we need to know... 💩
@cmccullough MCP, goose, AGENTS.md, all good things I would say.
I'm no big AI fan, but I've been interested in MCP for a while to have a nice integration with a self-hosted LLM in specific tools, and I've heard of AGENTS.md, but not of goose, although it's described as an 'open source, extensibile AI agent' which sounds good.
None of this is related to Linux itself, it's just the Linux Foundation that formed this "neutral, open foundation" that evolves AI "transparently, collaboratively" with...famously open-source companies like OpenAI, Anthropic and many other members including SUSE and Zed Industries.
We'll see how this goes.

Nate Allen@cmccullough I guess there will always be OpenBSD...
King_DuckZ@cmccullough so much effort and money put into #AI, and then it takes one very simple browser plugin to replace all "Agentic AI Foundation" with a more straightforward "Bullshit Lalala Foundation"

KateYagi@cmccullough
I wonder what'll emerge to replace the Linux kernel if the Linux Foundation commits to joining the AI ant death spiral. Probably just a fork, given everything that depends on it, but maybe some neat projects will pop up.

Steve Holden@cmccullough That’s the Linux Foundation on the naughty list, then - clearly they are about money rather than freedom.

Why so worried @cmccullough? This is standard practice for the LF. Which was formed by corporations to push their agendas into GNU/Linux, and sideline the FSF/GNU Project's role in its development.
(1/2)
What this article reports is;
* new legal sub-entity in Linux Foundation
* sponsored by corporations, like everything LF do
* some copyrights, etc, handed over to the sub-entity, as a neutral ground where a group of corporations can share work on them
This is neither good nor bad news. It's just business administrativia news.

your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦@cmccullough if they're a foundation, they need to open their books and show who’s paying to hijack their brand and infect them with the techbro mindvirus.
