Did AI generate that?

Did AI generate that race condition commit of linus?

(sorry, I thought by "that" you meant my comment or the content of the link or something else)

As far as I understand, Linus did an LLM assisted coding session that resulted in code with a race condition. But to what extend he or the LLM is specifically responsibe for the bug, we don't know because he didn't share the session, only the result.

Thanks, I thought he only now started using LLM's in commits to write code, based on the article.

But I haven't really followed him closely

I believe Linus has clearly stated his position that he is specifically responsible for the bug, regardless of whether he uses LLM agents, Ouija boards, or vim to create it.
