He discusses Rust's gradual integration into the Linux kernel, noting it has taken longer than expected but is becoming a real part of the codebase. Torvalds addresses AI's impact on kernel development, mentioning issues with crawlers disrupting infrastructure and AI-generated bug reports, though these problems are less severe than in other projects. He compares AI to previous productivity tools like compilers, suggesting it won't eliminate programming jobs but will change how developers work. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
