The only way to be safe is to constantly change internal APIs so that LLMs are useless at kernel code

To slightly rephrase a citation from Demobbed (2000) [1]:

The kernel is not just open source, it's a very fast-moving codebase. That's how we win all wars against AI-authored exploits. While the LLM trains on our internal APIs, we change the APIs — by hand. When the agent finally submits its pull request, it gets lost in unfamiliar header files and falls into a state of complete non-compilability. That is the point. That is our strategy.
