there’s a lot of money and influence being poured into making the linux kernel utterly reliant on a bit of software that’s clearly unfit for purpose. that’s why all this shit is happening so quick: anthropic, OpenAI, and palantair pouring money into the Linux foundation, linus doing his little AI booster interviews, the Linux foundation pivoting even further into AI, linus using an alt-right meme to justify the kernel’s pro-LLM policy, the systemic exposure of maintainers to these tools
this is an attack, and all the people who assigned themselves the job of protecting open source against attacks are welcoming the attackers in
it doesn’t matter how obvious it gets that LLMs are a negative, because we are currently being betrayed by people with a financial and political incentive to betray us
