Fix Me

It's kinda wild that by basically making no video games in ten years (okay one but still) Rockstar has made GTA VI's release the biggest thing imaginable, and by contrast most gamers probably would guess "What is the most recent Assassin's Creed game?" wrong because they get sharted out too frequently.

If you submit a talk to #ID24 with almost the exact title of the thing, that might have sparked some thought. Who knows?

jesus christ, Linux has had a 100% LLM takeover.

this project is completely cooked.

even after the AI bubble pop, it's not clear how to recover from this level of bullshit from this level of bullshitter.

> Linus Torvalds believes that blaming LLMs for the kernel community's problems is wrong, when the problem is LLM users who do not understand how to use them or how the kernel works. A properly trained LLM is a useful tool, but it takes a lot of time to reach that point.
> Torvalds and others repeatedly said low-quality contributions from new developers should receive low priority, and that the community should stop trying to make contribution easy. Many developers said, repeatedly, that trying to mentor those developers is almost always a waste of time; they do not listen.
> There is some concern about companies maintaining private kernels with LLM help, but there does not seem to be much to be done about it.
> Kernel developers should not be required to use LLMs to work in the community, but those who do need to have enough resources available to generate acceptable results.
The requirement to add Assisted-by tags to patches created with LLMs will be removed, but maintainers still want to know about how a patch was created.

so how's it going already?

> The development community is struggling to keep up with the flood of security patches, and will continue to for some time. Some of the most urgent fixes may bypass maintainers and go straight to Torvalds. Maintainers were cautioned against telling their employers about vulnerabilities before public disclosure happens.

Really, I'm not out to suck as much ass as Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect.

Please don’t read my toots with dry lips.

Don’t bother licking them now, it’s too late.

Weil ich gerade mein Auto komplett ausgeräumt habe und allerhand Unnützes und Skurriles rausgeholt habe, interessiert es mich:

Seems like I waited too long with my blog article and we may have a start of what I imagined.

Falls der Faschismus zurückkäme wird es für sehr viele Menschen ungelegen kommen, weil sie noch den Hauskredit abbezahlen müssen und nicht wollen, dass man übertreibt. Da darf man sich keine Illusionen machen.
