Linus Torvalds gets the AI coding bug

Linus Torvalds has merged AI-generated code into the Linux kernel, signaling a new era for open-source development. This move, alongside discussions on self-hosting AI and the increasing prevalence of AI-assisted software creation, suggests a significant shift in how software is built and maintained within the open-source community. Developers can expect more AI-integrated workflows and a potential surge in "adequate" software as AI tools mature.
