Linux creator Linus Torvalds has famously been fairly hot and cold on generative AI in coding work, seeing a good purpose for it whilst also acknowledging a lack of quality control has led to a flood of unhelpful reports. Well, it seems like AI won't be fully replacing him just yet, as he's recently undergone a 'debug session from hell' where his AI assistant recommended he give up several times.
As spotted by International Cyber Digest, Linus took to a Linux Kernel commit to state all it took was "fixing a bogus 'round_up()' to a 'round_down()', but there were 24 patches adding more and more debug information to this, and 18 kernel boot to finally narrow it down to this."
