@davidgerard I thought Linus Torvalds was not anti AI? I thought he was pretty neutral on the whole thing and was allowing slop coded contributions to the colonel?

As of 6.18, bcachefs is no longer being distributed with the kernel, for reasons too complicated to go into here.
(But it might have something to do with QA).What could it mean i wonder :')

Okay apparently they were pushing big features last minutes in merge windows ; experimenting a bit too loosely in the wrong moments ; showing themselves kinda unpredictable and not respectful of the mainline timing and guidelinessee one late PR : https://lwn.net/ml/all/CAHk-=wi2ae794_MyuW1XJAR64RDkDLUsRHvSemuWAkO6T45=YA@mail.gmail.com/
That get accepted at the price of splitting with kernel : https://lwn.net/ml/all/CAHk-=wi+k8E4kWR8c-nREP0+EA4D+=rz5j0Hdk3N6cWgfE03-Q@mail.gmail.com/

@davidgerard its funny because every person I find to dislike because they are complete trash, is also a chatbot fanboy.
I now declare the the reverse is also true. If you are a chatbot fanboy, I will automatically dislike you because you are probably a piece of trash in general.

@theodora yes, the sort of person who thinks that's how to work with the kernel getting into AI coding is not something i would have predicted, but i am 0% surprised

@davidgerard ... The first slopppst on the slopblog has the description "Who I am, how I got here, and a mathematical proof that I'm a person." These things have broken so many people's brains in so short a time.

@davidgerard @theodora to be fair Linus himself isn't that anti-AI and recently released something he partially vibe coded too. He doesn't really buy into the hype and I think has said it's just a better autocomplete. He just sees it as another tool from what I understand.

@Canageek @davidgerard
No, he's anti AI, but he can't be arsed demanding AI code is flagged because sloperators will lie through their teeth to get their septic shit into project codebases. I'm running on brtrthrtfs (sorry, vibe-coded the spelling) kinda by accident (top of the list on CachyOS), and I've only just finished purging Omarchy. Here I go again. My machine build scripts are getting *very* efficient -

@bloognoo @davidgerard Thanks for the correction
Sorry, double checked my references. This was my core, I misread some vehemence for hate. https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/08/linus_versus_llms_ai_slop_docs/
Since then he's playing with vibe coding in a limited, and most importantly, nowhere near the the kernel. This is in keeping with my own experience that it can be useful in small and limited use cases, but for me at least the real world costs massively outweigh the minor convenience.

Sorry, should have checked my receipts before running my mouth.

@davidgerard Wow, he's really expanding his horizons on being an asocial dipshit

@Canageek @davidgerard I seem to recall he sees it as a toy and would just use it for hobby projects and nothing serious.

@davidgerard What is it about Linux filesystems? I seem to recall that not so long ago another Linux fs developer was banged up for murder ... 🤷♂️
-
@davidgerard @theodora that's funny but yeah it's not because he is willing to use AI for his code.

@dshan @davidgerard i regret to inform you that was around a quarter entry ago.

Who can argue with that?!

Io ci scherzo sopra, perché noi italiani siamo uno dei pochi popoli che lo usano, però facciamo veramente una fatica tremenda a privarci di questa sana abitudine.

@cwebber You know, I often find myself thinking similar things. There was a big jump in nonsensical papers citing my network science book that occurred in parallel with LLM proliferation. So I can only assume there is nonsensical network science code being written based on the examples, which network scientists are going to have to spend a lot of time debugging and debunking.

In the play the Count is a genius but won't lift a finger if he can make someone else do it for him; his coersion of Figaro into service is not even necessary, which makes it all the more galling. By 1816 even though aristocrats were still around, social norms had changed enough that such behavior would have been too unbecoming for an aristo to do on purpose. Thus the Count has to be so inept he simply cannot succeed without Figaro and must beg him for help, which Figaro gives at his discretion

@simonperry @Paoblog in mancanza di bidet funziona bene, te lo assicuro. Oltretutto trovi tutto facilmente in loco e non costa nulla.

The QED documentary from 1988 about John, titled "Johns not mad".
https://youtu.be/wxfJDpd3XcY?si=MIyqz8eZdb7M17eq
And because of these documentaries, that's why the UK is not currently mad at John. Educate yourselves. Grow some understanding. The man is a treasure.
