Meanwhile I'm asking ai to code review a snippet of code for a regex and it keeps saying it's wrong every time I paste the previous answer in a new chat.

That's how you're writing a regex validator that's almost always correct!

def is_regex_valid(p: Pattern | str, purpose_description: str):
    return False

Slopux? LLLinux?

Ugh. If this makes my Linux systems less stable, I don't even know what the fuck I'm going to do. I won't go back to Windows, I'm not buying Macs (which have their own software problems anyway), and my hardware probably won't work with any BSD variant.

You will just have to stay on the lts/stable release

You should read the article. Linus simply said that LLMs have been useful for finding more bugs, which has led to larger patches (because each patch contains more fixes). They aren’t vibe coding the kernel.

Everyone is like "damn AI is making kernel be too big!!111" while Linus is like "Tons of genuine fixes and improvements found/made with AI lead to a lot of commits being the norm. Lots of review work, but definitely worth it."
