AI assistance when contributing to the Linux kernel https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst
Look like Linux foundation and big tech members like Microsoft, Google and others who are behind the Linux foundation drafted it. Basically it says that you can use AI/LLM, but you take full responsibility for your commits to the kernel and code must satisfy the license GPL-2.0-only. So more slop is allowed to add directly to the Linux kernel.
@nixCraft If they ruin it there are many other alternatives.
@nixCraft Cartels like ms and alphabet should be kept away from the Linux Foundation. They will destroy everything for their own interests. Community donations can keep free software alive
@nixCraft Well well well... Let's see what will happen. Hopefully we still have BSD distros free from that AI slop
@nixCraft so keeping backup "pre-AI" copies of my favorite distro (and its repos) seems to make more and more sense...
@nixCraft Generated code is by definition not source, so it cannot satisfy the GPL
@nixCraft At the very least, they added a clause of a human reviewer, although not having any slop would be better.
@nixCraft Was not expecting that!
