Could you back up your assertion that Willy Tarreau — who used to maintain the Linux kernel — is “an AI enthusiast”? I can’t find anything about it.

Also one of the initial creator of haproxy, a well known reverse proxy. To imply somebody like as a simple "AI shill" is just ignorant.

Anyone who says anything good about AI must be an AI shill from the start, not someone who is genuinely observing reality or had their mind changed, don't you know?

And a primary author of one of the most stable and used load balancers in the history of networking.
