FUN FACT: The Linux kernel now accepts AI-generated code:

Linux lays down the law on AI-generated code, says yes to Copilot, no to AI slop, and humans take the fall for mistakes — after months of fierce debate, Torvalds and maintainers come to an agreement

After months of fierce debate, Linus Torvalds and the Linux kernel maintainers have laid down the law on AI-generated code.

https://docs.kernel.org/process/coding-assistants.html

So.... now, essentially, Linux cannot be trusted legally. Who knows what code the AIs were training on? It's almost certain that use of AI-generated code will violate someone's copyright.

Good timing, since I've been planning to migrate my main system to OpenBSD. Now I definitely will.

AI can be used productively for code auditing, but vibe coding the Linux kernel seems like a bad idea.

@libreleah Not a fan of LLM code at all, but this is pretty much the most negative interpretation you can have on this.

Still, glad that OpenBSD has a very clear stance against AI/slop code.
