This was caught during review, so nothing was "introduced" quite yet. And there's no indication that Linus wouldn't have produced a race condition (a notoriously more easy to miss kind of bug) without the use of AI tools.

It's only being exaggerated so much because he used AI.

I could attribute the race condition just as much to their use of the C language as to AI.

Race conditions I'm pretty sure aren't language specific. Rust can have them too.

Yes, but the tools provided by Rust:

Prevent most common ones via aliasing^mutability, Send and Sync marker traits, etc.
Require explicitly marking the cases not handled by this, e.g. unsafe features require an unsafe {} block to be used.

Yea he basically said "This seems to work but is slop, lead Dev, make it real."

That is something I am surprisingly okay with. Quickly figuring out if something is feasible is good, and doing it in a back of the napkin style is the norm, even without LLMs. Of course then you need to do it properly, without falling into the trap of reimplementing the slop.
