It may or may not be merged. Nonetheless it's certainly a step forward into genAI adoption for our beloved OS.

I would really like to know what's going to happen: better code or just the appearance of it?

he also introduced at least one bug/vulnerability in the form of a race condition.

HIS FIRST VIBED COMMIT. The commit that at least should have been the most carefully scrutinized before handing it in. Then he left the cleanup to other maintainers and went on a vacation.

Linus needs to step down, he has fucking lost it.

You mean Dirty COW? CVE-2016-5195 The race condition lived undetected in the source tree for nine years until security researcher Phil Oester discovered it in October 2016.

Unlike this race condition in the age of LLM agents which never made it into a stable release.
