Here's the actual mailing list post: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wi+JvcuKF2NaD_rGiYrwkR6rx...

Actual context: Linux 7.1-rc4 release, Linus remarked on a specific documentation change.

The Register somehow turned this into an "article" that says a lot less with roughly the same number of words, and provides "context" by linking to a number of unrelated articles.

here is what seems to be the relevant documentation: https://docs.kernel.org/process/security-bugs.html

see "If you resorted to AI assistance to identify a bug, you must treat it as public." and https://docs.kernel.org/process/security-bugs.html#responsib...

The Register has always been a... weird 'news' source, but they've gotten significantly worse over the last year or two.

I think people are used to bias in mainstream media, but theregister seems to show it to computer/tech folks. I don't mind, I like opinionated stuff and can make up my own mind, but I wonder what folks with less context/experience think when they read some of their articles.

(and at least weird isn't like uncanny-valley-ai-written-weird)
