The role of AI tools (LLMs, mainly) in Linux is under discussion, or it was, until Linus Torvalds “put his foot down” in support of the use of AI in Linux kernel development.

        Everything is intrinsically political. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zruGBWLk9s8

        Though some things are more political than others. ;) Free Software’s avowedly a piece of political philosophy. Open Source seems more like corporate(/monopoly/fascist) strategy. Namely, Embrace-Extend-Extinguish.

            Embrace-extend-extinguish is when a large company adopts an existing open standard (encouraging users to use its software due to that compatibility) and then extends that standard with proprietary features, rendering software using the open standard incompatible and extinguishing their ability to compete with the larger platform.

        but this isnt a foss group or gnu. FSF is very political, linux is not. microsoft is the largest contributor to open source with goigke in second pkace. they bith have many open source projects but dont shate tge same values as FSF. Linux has never pushed that agenda.

          linux is literally licensed under the GPL, it is actively pushing that agenda
