That seemingly didn't stop the pro- and against-AI camps in the kernel from continuing to bicker, though.

        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
