AI‑built Kernel in 11 Days

An AI agent was used to write most of a new x86‑64, Rust‑first operating‑system kernel (called Ginux) in 11 days; it implements the Linux ABI so existing Linux binaries run unmodified but currently only runs inside QEMU and lacks hardware support and an independent security audit. This is a concrete demonstration that AI agents can produce complex system software quickly, not just small utilities or prototypes. — If AI can produce kernels and other low‑level infrastructure rapidly, society must reckon with new supply‑chain, security, governance, and ownership questions about who controls the stacks that run critical software and devices.
