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
Absolutely agree. I used to be a Mac guy and I remember when Mac OS X (as it was called at the time) 10.5, Leopard came out. It had a lot of problems and Apple acknowledged it by following up with Mac OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard. The pitch was that they weren’t really going to ship new features but rather to refine 10.5 and make it suck less. I think it was pretty widely recognized as a successful effort. It’s boring stuff for the tech press and media at large, but Jobs was able to sell it. I wish more companies would do this, but it doesn’t make line go up in the same way “…Now, with AI✨™️” does
