I have used the new template below to show how it looks. We can add more details to the linked CONTRIBUTING.md in the pop repo.
I have not included any LLM (also known as AI) generated content in...
The issue for now is LLM generation of code, not code auditing.
And no, I don’t give a fuck whether some genius in theory could paint s new Mona Lisa with it.
The issue us how it is used in practice, most of the time, today.
At $WORK, I have a severely ai-pilled Senior Embedded Software Architect which hasnt managed in one and a half year to set up a working driver for a RS232-controlled stepper motor, from a port of previously working code. A thing that should take a week at most. I had to educate him that in C++ drivers, you need to use locks or mutexes to access variables that are concurrently changed and read from several threads. AI enables catastrophic levels of incompetence.
And FOSS projects need to protect themselves against that.
Yeah… LLM Generation I agree is the biggest issue by far.
On the Kernel side, code review though apparently has been a big factor apparently, because people are testing kernel modules in seriously dumb tests that would never happen in practice, and then submitting some of the dumbest patches to protect against faults that won’t happen in reality
