[$] Debating the role of large language models in the kernel community
Like many development communities, the kernel community has been strugglingto determine how large language models will be used in its developmentprocess. The news has been dominated recently by a strongly worded missivefrom Linus Torvalds on the subject, but the discussion has been rather morewide-ranging and nuanced than that. Topics that have been consideredrecently include the LLM attribution requirement, code-review tools,dependence on proprietary tools, and whether there is a place for concernsabout the ethics of LLMs.
