Linus Torvalds: "And the AI slop issue is *NOT* going to be solved with documentation, and anybody who thinks it is either just naive, or wants to "make a statement". "
Also Linus Torvalds: "Some of the documentation updates might be worth highlighting: the continued flood of AI reports has basically made the security list almost entirely unmanageable, with enormous duplication due to different people finding the same things with the same tools. People spend all their time just forwarding things to the right people or saying "that was already fixed a week/month ago" and pointing to the public discussion."
lol, lmao

@techokami@woof.tech I was also surprised to see this as git.kernel.org is using Anubis to block AI crawlers.

And in case you're wondering why a toot from May is making the rounds, well... Linus Torvalds: "Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it. Or just walk away." Also Linus Torvalds, in the exact same LKML posting: "This is *NOT* some kind of "social warrior" project, never has been, and never will be." Dear people responsible for RedoxOS and Haiku: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BECOME A DAILY DRIVABLE REPLACEMENT FOR LINUX I WANT OFF THIS RIDE
