A report just in from the Kernel Maintainers Summit on 8 October reveals just how full AI slop the Linux kernel project has gone. And so has project leader Linus Torvalds.

Maybe it’s time to just leave tech behind and return to monkey.
I switched to Linux many years ago, but now I am a bit worried which path it will take.
Windows and I’m sure apple’s path are already there, but being Linux means this is fully public. I hope Linus and the rest of the developers who are starting to lean on LLMs take a good look inwards.

That’s reality. Deal with it. That genie is out of the bottle. You’re not getting it back. And you’re not getting it back whether you are a photographer who’s out of work. Those things are gone, right? Because you can fake pictures so much better now. Or you’re a programmer that has to learn to deal with a new reality.
I think actually on the programming side, we’re in a fairly good spot. I really think that AI will be a tool and it will make people more productive. I think that vibe coding is great for getting into programming. I think it’s going to be a horrible thing to maintain.

Also case #10262973 of someone thinking that genAI will replace jobs they aren’t well versed in while their own job, which is under equal pressure of genAI, is pretty safe since AI could never fully replace their own work.
Authors think AI replaces Musicians, Musicians think AI replaces IT, IT thinks AI replaces Photographers, Photographers think AI replaces Artists and so on and so on and also vice versa and across. Everyone is doomed except for us amirite

Except they often also think their own field is only being undercut by ignorant people pushing genAI where it doesn’t fit because they don’t know about the minute details that contribute to expertise in the field.
Somehow, completely missing the point reflected in their own belief.
I think AI can’t replace any of the above. But the fuckin’ CEOs’ AI psychosis thinks it can, so it doesn’t matter whether it can or not. So you’re still in danger of getting replaced.
Maybe i just dont upgrade for a while until FAFO finishes
