Linux's Staging Area To Now Reject LLM-Generated Patches, Except For Real Security Fixes (www.phoronix.com)

Note, LLMs are very good at finding suspect "security issues" in kernel code these days. But even with the best of the current and next generation tools, at least 1/3 of the results they generate are flat out wrong or harmful. So, if you think your LLM-found/fixed issue in a drivers/staging/ file is really valid, it's fine to submit it BUT you must have first tested it on the actual hardware for the driver, and described how you have done so, in order for us to be willing to take the change.

I think it was more a declaration of neutrality

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Just like in a lot of other topics, neutrality doesn't exist here. If you're not actively opposing evil, you're supporting it. As a narrow example, be "neutral" to slop, drown in it immediately.

Exactly this. Linus doesn't give a shit if the garbage came from meat or a clanker, he treats all garbage equally.

If it's obviously AI, you may get a silent rejection instead of a public beating.

If it's not garbage, you may get a change request email!
