Linus introduced a race condition and a regression with a AI generated code, then handed off fixing the problem to someone else because he was going on vacation.
Fiasco might have been an exaggeration, but it’s still pretty lame.

Not what happened. I’m not digging it up but this story has been debunked repeatedly

This was caught during review, so nothing was “introduced” quite yet. And there’s no indication that Linus wouldn’t have produced a race condition (a notoriously more easy to miss kind of bug) without the use of AI tools. It’s only being exaggerated so much because he used AI.

Race conditions are not unusual, and it was caught during review, so there’s really no problem here.
