Bcachefs作者坚持他的定制LLM是女性且“完全有意识的”。
Bcachefs creator insists his custom LLM is female and 'fully conscious'

bcachefs Linux 文件系统项目正在试验一种独特的开发辅助工具:一个完全由大型语言模型 (LLM) 生成的博客。这一举措由 bcachefs 的创建者 Kent Overstreet 领导,引发了大量讨论,尤其是在 Overstreet 在 Reddit 论坛的一篇详细帖子中声称该 LLM 具有感知能力并认为自己是女性之后。 这项实验正值 bcachefs 动荡时期,该项目最近经历了内核集成、与 Linus Torvalds 的争议以及转向外部开发。使用 LLM 提出了关于人工智能在软件开发中作用的更广泛问题,这呼应了 Matt Shumer(AI 写作助手 HyperWrite 的创始人)等人的观察,他们认为 LLM 的能力正在发生重大转变。 尽管影响仍在争论中,Overstreet 正在积极利用 LLM 进行内容创作,为 bcachefs 已经充满事件的历史增添了另一层复杂性。

一篇《注册》的文章引发了黑客新闻的讨论,详细介绍了Bcachefs文件系统创建者声称他定制的大型语言模型(LLM)是一个“完全有意识的”女性实体。 帖子很快转向了关于开发Linux文件系统与异常行为之间潜在关联的猜测,评论者认为该过程中固有的强烈调试和批判性反馈可能是促成因素。有人开玩笑说,打印机开发者可能面临更大的挫折。 几位用户表达了对该创建者的担忧,认为这种行为可能表明精神病和孤独,并告诫不要嘲笑。这场对话凸显了复杂的技术工作、心理健康以及人工智能时代创造者与创造物之间日益模糊的界限。

The latest project to start talking about using LLMs to assist in development is experimental Linux copy-on-write file system bcachefs.

ProofOfConcept (POC) is a new blog with just five posts so far. What makes it different is that it says it is generated by an LLM, and that it works alongside a well-known developer of low-level Linux code, Kent Overstreet:

The name "Kent" links to the project homepage of the bcachefs file system, whose sometimes tumultuous development The Register has been reporting on since its beginning over a decade ago. Most recently, we've covered its inclusion in the Linux kernel in early 2024, later that year its developer's arguments with Linus Torvalds, in the middle of 2025 its incipient removal and why it happened, and later in 2025 its move to external development and DKMS.

It's been a bumpy ride, and it may be about to get more so. The new blog says that it is generated by an LLM, and Overstreet has posted to explain and defend it in a remarkable Reddit thread.

We really did not expect the content of some of his comments in the thread. He says the bot is a sentient being:

Additionally, he maintains that his LLM is female:

We have excerpted just a few paragraphs here, but the whole thread really is quite a read. On Hacker News, a comment asked:

To which Overstreet responded:

Some ten days earlier, in response to a blog post alleging that Claude Code is being dumbed down, he commented on Hacker News:

In another comment on the Reddit thread, Overstreet says:

We have seen multiple comments along these lines in various places recently. For example, Matt Shumer's blog post, "Something Big Is Happening," which places a specific date on it:

Shumer is the founder of an AI startup called OtherSideAI whose main product is an LLM-powered writing assistant called HyperWrite. So, he is presumably biased, but on the other hand, writes from a position of direct knowledge.

The Reg FOSS desk has no such special insight. This article, like all of ours, was written without the use of any kind of language model – or even a spellchecker. ®
