Well, I am complaining about #AI slop introducing some random bugs in a minor userspace project, and in the meantime I learn that #Linux #kernel LTS developers are using AI to backport patches, and creating new vulnerabilities in the process.

Note: the whole thread is quite toxic, so I'd take it with a grain of salt, but still looks like the situation is quite serious.

"You too can crash today's 6.12.43 LTS kernel thanks to a stable maintainer's AI slop."

And apparently this isn't the first time either:

"When AI decided to select a random CPU mitigation patch for backport last month that turned a mitigation into a no-op, nothing was done, it sat unfixed with a report for a month (instead of just immediately reverting it), and they rejected a CVE request for it."

#Trump has pushed for multibillion-dollar government tie-ups in #semiconductors & rare earths, such as a pay-to-play deal with #Nvidia & an arrangement with rare-earth producer #MPMaterials to secure critical #minerals.

Tan, who took the top job at #Intel in March, has been tasked to turn around the American chipmaking icon, which recorded an annual loss of $18.8 billion in 2024—its first such loss since 1986.

The Gamers Nexus GPU smuggling documentary will be a fun watch today.

Admittedly, I haven't watched the 3 hour docu yet, but why do smugglers export Made-In-China GPUs to China? Wouldn't it be easier to obtain them where they're made?

Anyway, this is fascinating stuff. If you're interested: youtube.com/watch?v=1H3xQaf7BFI
