Linus Torvalds, about AI, said that if people don’t like it they can fork it. Does anyone know any linux kernel forks that attempt this? Getting rid of “tainted” commits, even if that would mean going back in time a few years?

I don’t want to discuss the use of AI in the kernel. I am just curious and couldn’t really find any forks (only the linus quote pops up on search engines).

    Hate to break it to you. But I actually would find it hard to trust a kernel or distro that doesn’t use AI today. No one has the staffing levels or funding to keep up with the rate of AI identified vulnerabilities.

      You’re implying I am in need of security (I am not), and that security without AI is not achievable. I say hogwash if the user is willing to make adjustments to their digital hygiene.

      Agree. If bad actors are using models to exploit any possible vulnerability, how could developers possibly keep up without modern tools?

      I know this is fuckAI but still. It kinda feels like people want to write a book by hand when a computer is available. A noble pursuit but not a popular one.
