alt Hacker NewsGinux: A New Kernel Runs Linux Userspace, Made via Human-Directed AI Engineering
Comments
Most of the comments here are super salty. Agentic coding is here to stay, and the authors are here to make it better.
And as a test case they built a Linux-compatibe thing in Rust!
Al of this is cool to me, but what I read here in the comments: slop, stealing, evil people, no trust, etc.
Linux is open source: the license says that it can be used for any purpose, which includes training an LLM.
LLMs have made developers more powerful (like IDEs did, or CI/CD did, or better programming languages did, or Github did, or ...), but all I hear is nagging.
For context, the author of this is one of the creators of Rocky Linux, so it's probably not just vibecoded rubbish.

> Ginux is a research prototype, not a production kernel or Linux replacement. The larger lesson is that AI can generate complex systems software, but compatibility, security, hardware support, standards, community, and long-term maintenance remain the real moat.
I recently built a concept Linux OS with the entire UI generated by a local AI model based on the user's intend. https://github.com/codetiger/velliangiri
Why does it seem like HDAE is just a new term to distract from terms like "vibecoded" and "AI slop"?
Because the bigger the project, the more unlikely it is for a human to review all the code. And in this case we're talking about re-making the Linux kernel.
I do not trust most research published on zenodo, in my experience almost everything there equates to AI Slop.
"Human directed A.I. engineering" is a euphemism for slop.
The new term for "stealing" is "Human-Directed Agentic Engineering". There are so many filthy people out there.
> "Made via Human-Directed AI Engineering"
So vibe coded then.
Let me help you here: you want to say “Made via AI slop”.
AI (Actually SI at this point) > teams of offshore coders
An initial review found a few things: https://social.kernel.org/notice/BBry0fMLEodHRiUqGW
Apparently they got fixed by now.
