Sounds like Marvel's next Dr. Doom reboot.
We haven't heard any expletive-laden smackdowns from Linux kernel chief Linus Torvalds in a while, so this week he obliged us all with a beaut. The head penguin railed on developer Kay Sievers, one of the key figures behind systemd, which isn't in the kernel but is one of the first essential programs to launch after Linux boots …
and probably do need to update the kernel to block the error.
That doesn't change the fact that he was way more right than wrong about this.
And hopefully as word of Torvalds' take down spreads, the jackalope causing the problems loses clout for *his* pet project. Which is probably more of what Torvalds was aiming at than actually keeping patches out of the kernel proper.
Plenty of chatbots have managed to fool some people. It's easy when you go for the low-hanging fruit (stupid people motivated by greed, sex, etc). The Turing Test - which is a philosophical proposition, not a proposal for a practical decision procedure - is generally held to a somewhat higher standard, if not rejected outright either as proposition (e.g. by Searle) or practice (e.g. by French).
