Linux kernel memory-management code reviewer steps down due to influx of AI slop patches — volume of submissions coupled with low manpower forces the step back
Linus’ recent comments suggest that he thinks we’re near the peak of AI slop for the kernel. All the bugs accumulated over the past 20 years of the kind that AI is good at finding are getting patched, and eventually the pool of those will be exhausted. We’ll soon find out whether it does happen that way.

Read this, and if you’re still confident that AI is good at finding and fixing vulnerabilities, I have a bridge for sale.
Spoiler alert, it won’t.
