    [$] Debating the role of large language models in the kernel community

    Description:
    Like many development communities, the kernel community has been struggling
    to determine how large language models will be used in its development
    process. The news has been dominated recently by a strongly worded missive from Linus Torvalds on the subject, but the discussion has been rather more wide-ranging and nuanced than that. Topics that have been considered
    recently include the LLM attribution requirement, code-review tools,
    dependence on proprietary tools, and whether there is a place for concerns about the ethics of LLMs.
