They've decided the CVE system is a shitshow, have become their own CNA, and are trolling it by assigning a CVE to every bugfix:

Note, due to the layer at which the Linux kernel is in a system, almost any bug might be exploitable to compromise the security of the kernel, but the possibility of exploitation is often not evident when the bug is fixed. Because of this, the CVE assignment team is overly cautious and assign CVE numbers to any bugfix that they identify. This explains the seemingly large number of CVEs that are issued by the Linux kernel team.

Maybe I should train a Markov model on the MDN and release it as "AI". :blobfoxthink:​

@dysfun The whole issue is great but this:
β€œit is a fantastic button and when I look at all the buttons on MDN, the AI Help button clearly stands out to me as the radiant star of the show.”

Are they planning on making money on this "feature" somehow? Is the "help" something you have to pay for or something?
