Rust will save the Linux kernel project from flood of AI-discovered security problems and already improves the kernel, but it is not a silver bullet, says Greg Kroah-Hartman (www.zdnet.com)

Rust will save Linux from C's inherent security weaknesses.

Linux, faced with a flood of AI-discovered security problems, could use the help.

Going forward, more and more Linux code will be written in Rust.

It's sci-fi that AI is going to take over, but we also need unions to prevent it? Hmm.

We need unions to prevent humans from the ruling class from abusing you because they have thoroughly convinced you and others like you incorrectly that robots can actually replace entry level versions of yourself.

It might appear that they can in the short term, but that is why we refer to AI as a bubble.

Wake up.

I don't see why unions are necessary for that. If it turns out they are wrong and AI can't reduce the need for humans they will quickly realise.

In any case, they're pretty clearly just using AI as an easy excuse for layoffs they want to do anyway.

No, they have not realized that has already happened.
