He did not make clear he doesn’t want AI slop in the kernel, but he always made clear he’ll rather kill you rather than pull your slop into the kernel.

Code shall be pulled into the kernel evaluating the quality of the code itself rather than the coding process.

I read it three times perfecting his voice, then I read your comment.
