Linux is Sabotaged by Botspam and Bloat (de Facto Denial of Service Attack in "Intelligence" Clothing After Rust in "Security" Clothing)

Linux kernel creator Linus Torvalds complained that LLM-generated code submissions, which he called "slop," are overwhelming the Linux kernel and are not being properly audited, according to a post on schestowitz.com. Torvalds expressed concerns that Linux is becoming bloated and slipping out of developers' control, with the Linux Foundation allegedly influenced by the AI industry.

This is not the first time he expresses apprehensively, his boss is the Linux Foundation /wiki/Linux Foundation , bribed by the slop industry concerns about Linux slipping out of developers' control only to become a bloated pig that few people understand /o/2022/09/21/going-rusty-faster/ . Linux is becoming orphaned, devalued and diluted by GAFAM slop. I am a Linux advocate, not slop advocate. █ top
