Claude models are really. I've been used them for so long. My colleagues too. I noticed a major improvement in code quality and enablement of developers. Now front end developers can take on more serious back end work in my team. As an analogy for this, I expect better outcome for Linux.

Guys, AI could perform outstanding hacks and can enable now mass hacks in a way never seen before. It also enables serious security scans and uncovered lots of serious security flaws. So why wouldn't it help get better kernel?

Agreed, although I worry about this use case the most for "brain rot" - that security pen testers will quit thinking and just use LLM agents instead. The state of the art needs both, not just one or the other.

Coders with brain rot only have to make working code that fulfills all the requirements, security scans have a much higher burden, and they are also more directly linked to expensive problems when they fail in their task.

Note that finding flaws is not, in general, the same mode as creating correct or well-made things. AI is plausibly good at the former, but this does not necessarily translate to the latter.
