Linus Torvalds is cracking down on AI-generated code submissions and duplicate vulnerability reports flooding Linux development. He's frustrated that the Linux security mailing list has become nearly unmanageable due to low-quality AI-generated bug reports, prompting stricter pull request standards and new kernel security guidelines.
·Torvalds is rejecting pointless pull requests, many from AI systems generating duplicate submissions
·AI-powered bug hunters have made the Linux security mailing list almost entirely unmanageable with duplicate reports
·The private security list has become a waste of time for everyone involved in software development
·New kernel security bug guidelines have been merged to address the flood of AI-generated vulnerability claims
·Linux Kernel 7.2 release candidate announced alongside stricter submission standards
