Linux creator Linus Torvalds says he likes using AI in his daily work, and a new Linux kernel branch includes credits acknowledging Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding tool. The news, reported by It's FOSS, is drawing attention because Torvalds has historically been skeptical of AI hype, so his open embrace of AI assistance marks a notable shift in the open-source community's conversation.

Why now: Torvalds' visible adoption of AI coding tools challenges his reputation as an AI skeptic and signals changing attitudes among core open-source developers
