From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

there are already decomp efforts of proprietary games that are accelerated thanks to LLMs, so yes
Wow, I didn't know. Are there any bigger projects out there doing this? Most I find when googling it, is a few YouTubers and people who do it small scale as some sort of tech demo.
I think it cuts both ways. A lead dev of the PS5 Linux effort recently quit over the number of AI-assisted "security researchers" trying to make a quick buck on bug bounties rather than contribute to open source efforts.

true, but those people imo are the equivalent of script kiddies(vibe kiddies?)
Slop kiddies, that's what the developper called them
