There appears to be a few bad actors in the Lemmy community spreading ragebait for personal gain

In fact, the same mechanisms added at the beginning to catch bad human written code are the exact same that catch bad AI code

  1. No, the Linux kernel DOES NOT use AI to automatically approve code for inclusion. As far as I can tell, there are no plans to do so
  2. The Kernel actually has a huge number of maintainers. As part of the process, all patches are reviewed by a human who provide feedback as part of the process, and patches get bounced back and forth multiple time.
  3. Patches don’t just magically go straight to master. The maintainers generally have their own branches where it goes to, then it goes to staging trees like Linux-Next. It goes through many eyes, and many tests by the end. The idea that AI code is overrunning the kernel is rediculous
  4. Maintainers also check that the code meets coding guidelines and is written properly, and solves the problem they are trying to solve. Yes, they also ensure the code isn’t slop
  5. LLM’s though might be used to identify obvious problems with the code (which they are VERY good at), or even identify code that doesn’t follow coding guidelines.
  6. The only thing that matters is the human who submitted the code, as they should be checking the code submitted anyway (including LLM generated code)

Writing bad code isn’t something new, and isn’t unique to LLM’s. Coders (and it seems some “journalists”) have been writing slop since computers were invented.

The process hasn’t gotten less stringent (probably even MORE stringent as there is an additional set of robotic eyes that can also check), and the same mechanisms that were put in place to catch badly written code 10 years ago, are still there now… With no changes.

    Oh, no you are taking it literally. It isn’t. There is truth in propaganda does not mean the statements generated by propagandists are factual or empirically verifiable in nature.

    What makes propaganda work is the truths that back it up even if those truths themselves are manufactured.

    Edit: Proof you requested

    • Isla Bryson (Scotland, 2023): Convicted at the High Court in Glasgow of raping two women in Clydebank and Glasgow in 2016 and 2019. Bryson began transitioning from male to female after the charges were brought and was initially remanded to a women’s prison before being transferred to a men’s facility following public and political concern.

    • Karen White (United Kingdom, 2018): Pleaded guilty at Leeds Crown Court to two counts of rape, one count of wounding, and two sexual assaults against women. She received a life sentence with a minimum term of nine and a half years.

    • Lexi Secker (United Kingdom, 2024): Found guilty at Swindon Crown Court of raping a woman in Wiltshire in April 2023, and was sentenced to six and a half years in a men’s prison.

    • Tremaine Carroll (California, USA, 2024): A state prisoner identifying as a woman at the Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla was charged by the Madera County District Attorney with raping fellow inmates.
