Linus Torvalds just said six words that set the entire Linux world on fire: "Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects." But almost everyone got what he meant completely wrong. In this video, we break down what Linus Torvalds actually said about AI in the Linux kernel, why he refused to make Linux an anti-AI project, and what it really means for the future of open source development.

We dig into the Sashiko AI kernel review tool, the review asymmetry problem, why the curl project killed its bug bounty over AI slop, and how different projects like Fedora, Gentoo, QEMU, and NetBSD are drawing wildly different lines on AI-generated code. This isn’t the story the headlines told you — the real fight is about power, trust, and who signs their name on the code.

Should AI be allowed to write the Linux kernel? Is an open-source civil war really coming? Watch till the end for my honest take.
