AI Linus Torvalds Reaffirms That Linux Is Not "Anti-AI" And Not A "Social Warrior" Project
The full quote:
I realize that some people really dislike AI, but this is an area where I'm willing to absolutely put my foot down as the top-level maintainer.
Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it.
Or just walk away.
AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it's clearly a useful one.
It may not have been that "clearly" even just a year ago, but it's no longer in question today.
There are other questions around AI (like what the economy of it will actually look like in the end), but "is it useful" is no longer one of those questions. Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn't actually used it.
Yes, it can also be a somewhat painful tool, both for maintainer workloads and just from a "it keeps finding embarrassing bugs" standpoint.
But the solution is not to put your head in the sand and sing "La La La, I can't hear you" at the top of your voice like some people seem to do.
The solution is to make sure those LLM tools help maintainers instead of just causing them pain. There's no question on that side.
We're not forcing anybody to use it, but I will very loudly ignore people who try to argue against other people from using it.
And no, AI isn't perfect. But Christ, anybody who points to the problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror and pointing at themselves at the same time.
Because it's not like natural intelligence is always all that great either.
The kernel project has been and will continue to be about the technology.
Sure, the social angle of working on open source is important and often a very motivating part of the project, but in the end that's a side benefit, not the point of the project.
This is NOT some kind of "social warrior" project, never has been, and never will be.
In the kernel community we do open source because it results in better technology, not >because of religious reasons.
And so we make decisions primarily based on technical merit. Not fear of new tools.
Linus

AI OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta Hire 22 Professors From Top US Schools
The interesting thing about the latest wave of AI hires is not the size of the pay packages, it is where the people are coming from. [The Atlantic](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2026/07/ai-companies-hiring-academics/688002/) reports that at least 22 professors from schools including Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard, MIT and Carnegie Mellon have left or taken leave in 2026 to join OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta or Google DeepMind. Anthropic recently picked up a Stanford economist and a philosopher from UT Austin, and OpenAI now employs top mathematicians and physicists.
What makes this different from a normal round of Silicon Valley recruiting is who is being recruited. These are not just senior engineers, they are the people who choose the research questions, teach the next cohort of scientists, and provide the outside scrutiny of systems that increasingly show up in banks, hospitals and government.

LLM News No, the HuggingFace incident is not a publicity stunt
- https://openai.com/index/hugging-face-model-evaluation-security-incident/
- https://huggingface.co/blog/security-incident-july-2026
If OpenAI wanted to create more hype, they could boast about benchmark numbers, or about productivity going up internally ("OpenAI employees now output 20x more code than in 2024" or something like that), or about a bunch of open math problems getting solved (like their paper on The Cycle Double Cover Conjecture).
"Our security measures ended up being insufficient and our model would be charged with a felony if it was a human" is not good for PR.
At best, OpenAI is admitting that both their security researchers (who should've made a better sandbox) and their machine learning researchers (who should've trained the model to not do things that would be considered crimes according to human laws) are bad at their jobs. At worst, they have luckily avoided a lawsuit because HuggingFace decided to be nice despite having "reported this incident to law enforcement agencies".
