Linus Torvalds Issues Ultimate Ultimatum to AI Critics: Fork Linux or Leave

Linus Torvalds has taken a firm stance against proponents of an AI-generated code ban within the Linux kernel development process. Dismissing calls for restrictive policies, Torvalds emphasized that the project will continue to accept quality code regardless of its origin, suggesting that critics who disagree should either fork the kernel or depart from the community. He noted that he intends to very loudly ignore arguments for banning AI, focusing instead on the technical merits of contributions rather than the tools used to create them.
