About this Episode

In this one, we end up going deeper with the whole AI thing than we ever intended to. As it happens, news, our projects and tinkering and everything else just takes us down this path. We promise, though, it'll be worth it.

First up, Linus has gone full vibe code? Well... not really. If there's one guy that we'd expect to do a good job with shepherding an LLM to good results, it's him. But what does this mean for the Linux Kernel in the future? We'll find out.

Then, our journey into using AI-based Linux distros takes us to Makulu and Luma, but Luma turns out to still need a few weeks to bake. We'll come back to it, and in its place, Omarchy shows up. But even then, the focus strays away because Omarchy isn't really what's interesting about Omarchy!

Finally, what's next? Software development is dead... or so they say. We're still skeptical of the claim but it's hard to argue with the results. We'll follow this one along too, but at least ArtCraft is impressing some. Reverse engineering code just got scary for the big boys, but information wants to be free, right?
