Linux security mailing list 'almost unmanageable' | Hacker News

A Hacker News discussion says LLMs could help improve code security and performance over time.

The debate centers on whether AI can speed up fixes for open-source software, including Linux security work.

Critics warn that volunteer maintainers may end up doing the hard work of reviewing and integrating changes.

There is also concern that AI labs could commercialize the benefits while open-source contributors carry the burden.
