Better make an AI free fork of linux too then.

Can’t have all those fancy 7.0 changes in my kernel because some dev used AI to check his code formatting before submitting a PR. I’ll stick with my outdated fork thank you very much. Upstream fix for blatant CVE but the fix includes an AI comment? Nooooo thank you.

I mean its not like there’s a reject button for pull requests or anything. Anyone could just submit AI slop and we’d never know. Not even from the blatantly failing CI tests.

Didn’t Torvald’s already chew people out for committing vibe-coded crap? At least I can rest assured the Linux Kernel doesn’t have dysfunctional generated code in it.

He sort of did the opposite. He chewed people out for trying to put anti AI language into the docs. He said in effect, “We can’t tell if AI was used so it’s stupid to add anti AI requirements.”

I miss the old Torvalds.

He’s the same but with less personal insults.

That’s like a raw kernel downgrade! I wonder if Vintage Torvalds would have allowed AI into the kernel (Linux is now in the Open Slopware list because of that).
