Is thisa reference to that Tailwind PR?
No, this is about adding guidelines for tool-generated submissions to the kernel. The tailwind conversation was on making their documentations more accessible to AI tools.
Linus doesn't want to add guidelines to not fuel any side of the whole discussion, and says that adding guidelines won't solve the problem because a lot of times it's not trivial to detect whether or not a contribution was written with AI tools, after all, "documentation is for good actors", hinting that anyone contributing AI slop is not expected to respect it anyway.
Thank you for that context. I fear the day we discover something bad about Linus. In my eyes he's been very based since forever
Your going to be dissapointed then.
He's very toxic.
He has gotten help
That being said, I still love the guy. But he is a known hot head.
That PR was quite the ride, thank you for that. Also, I feel for the maintainer guy :(
