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.

    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.
