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.

So what are the consequences? No internet for my machine today, I guess?
What a week
Captain, it's Friday.
This seemingly was a mistake with Linux’s second-in-command Greg Kroah-Hartman responding to each report asking about their submission to the public mailing list.
I hope that was not AI automation, with him being a lover and a loud public advocate of it.
EDIT: we've misread the text. It wasn't a mistake by Greg, but merely that he was the one to reply. Nobody directed Trend Micro to the public mailing list, they did it by themselves (as far as we know).
with him being a lover and a loud public advocate of it.
I googled the guy's name and as expected, I found him suggesting ai is good for finding bugs now, unlike in the past. No quotes of him praising its use let alone across the board.
I am generally against AI but what exactly is the point of opposing it to the point of denying it has any use whatsoever, exaggerating anything anyone says remotely in favor of it, or in this case making up harm that AI hypothetically may have caused? Doing things like that is just destroying the credibility of opposing AI, and I see this kind of approach to it constantly on here.
No, Linux is not "vibecoded" now. No, Torvalds is not an AI simp now. Yes, there are some uses of AI that are probably worth the downsides (which anyone can see and should admit to). Binary thinking is not productive.
As other replies to you have touched on, I believe you've misread/misunderstood that, although I understand why. It definitely could've been worded more clearly.
What it means is more along the lines of:
This seemingly was a mistake. Linux’s second-in-command Greg Kroah-Hartman responded to each report asking about their submission to the public mailing list.
He's not the one that submitted them. He's the one that replied to them asking "wtf!?"
Ah that makes sense, i was reading that in the wrong way as well and was wondering how that fuckup would even happen
Thank you for the clarification! That makes more sense honestly. Indeed I have read it differently at first.
What does it have to with Kroah-Hartmans stance on AI when it wasn't him that made the mistake?
This here was the mistake that Kroah-Hartman was questioning:
Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative sent out a number of vulnerability reports to the public Linux kernel mailing list (LKML) rather than the typical private security mailing list.
What does it have to with Kroah-Hartmans stance on AI when it wasn’t him that made the mistake?
Because any mistakes he does is of cause due to some AI glitch, that proves that he is wrong about saying anything positive about AI, and it could never be something else. Well, beside that it wasn't him that posted to the wrong mailing list.
why? I really hope it was! so much funnier
Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative sent out a number of vulnerability reports to the public Linux kernel mailing list
You don't read stuff?
I'd bet it was. And love has nothing to do with AI in the kernel. He's on the payroll of techbros, of course he'd be an AI advocator.
