AI coding tools are pretty good at finding bugs and make it easier and faster to fix them.

Importantly, security vulnerabilities in new releases seem to stay roughly the same and the change to which bugs count as CVEs was around version 6.8 already.

AI coding tools are pretty good at ~~finding~~ writing bugs and make it easier and faster to ~~fix~~ write them.

If you checked the commits you would see that some of the bugs in Linux being found with AI tooling have been present for many years.

I encourage everyone to go have a read for themselves.

Linux hasn’t become some slop treadmill like you’re implying.

Been away for almost a year and came back to many here thinking they're smarter than Torvalds. It's stunning. Goes with what I've been saying about broad DC hate, it's going to cause friendly fire.

If you put someone on a pedestal, they will eventually shit on you.

Such a lemmy moment, unable to admit AI is capable of anything that might be considered useful.

Yes AI is good at writing bugs, it's also good at finding exploits.
