Yeah Linus thinks because he can easily validate the code generated by ai and know what to use and what to discard/recreate, that everybody else can also do the same. It doesn’t work that way. This is gonna end up killing linux or somebody is gonna fork it to keep it human only

    Yea which is scary as hell, Linux has always been the “security choice” for an OS…now… everyone in the security field is going to start getting a bit more cautious about it.

  • Yeah Linus thinks because he can easily validate the code generated by ai and know what to use and what to discard/recreate I mean, the Linux kernel exists because of him? I would argue to say he knows the most about Linux than anyone arguing against him. somebody is gonna fork it to keep it human only People are going to generate and commit code without acknowledging the LLM usage, then 5-10 years will pass and a huge whistleblower will go ““BabaMan29484” has been committing LLM code for years and nobody except I knew about it!! [Insert evidence] [Insert community outrage] [insert fork of a fork created by “real humans”]” I won’t argue and say that LLM generated code isn’t plagiarism, I mean it has to learn somewhere, but if it’s being audited by industry professionals I can’t see the negative to using it.
