The problem is that you have hundreds of folks now running the exact same checks with the exact same tools and all submitting without a care for what any of the others are doing.
Dupes are nothing new, but the scale of dupes becomes gigantic because now everyone thinks "I can be a kernel security researcher now" and all have the same tools at their disposal that tend to find the same things.
As to the 'genuine bugs', don't know about this current crop, but historically "security researchers" have already been bad for "crying wolf" and reporting non-issues that they didn't understand. The highest profile I can think of was when some "security researcher" started telling everyone in the world that nintendo stores passwords in clear text because he thought the 'OK' button only activated when the password entered matched successfully, but it just lit up as soon as *any* password that passed the rules was entered. AI code review is still pretty inclined to report non-issues in a similar way, so I imagine not just dupes, but lots of nothing coming along too. Those would be *harder* to have a system automatically handle, since a human actually has to understand the report and reconciling with reality. An LLM isn't going to be very good at dismissing bogus LLM complaints.

Well, it would be nice if the submitter was on the hook for the token budget to find dupes, but practically speaking the project probably runs it.
I would probably not have an LLM automatically merging duplicate tickets. The flow should be 'pass on to human review as no apparent duplicate was detected' or 'pass back to submitter with indication of probable dupe, to let the submitter decide if they have something to add to the original ticket and/or to subscribe to that ticket. I have seen enough problems when *humans* unilaterally merge tickets that end up being unrelated, and that clutters up and confuses an issue. Don't need LLM that may be pretty good, still would be even worse than the humans at messing up 'dupe or not'.

It's a matter of what the LLM operator is pointing it at.
The LLM operator submitting the bugs aren't paying attention nor feeding their instance of LLM anything about others' submissions. So they are flooding with dupes, and the LLM has no reason to detect duplicate submissions, since it's not fed that data.
An LLM fed the mailing list and new submissions could credibly find dupes. If it fails, oh well, a dupe made it through and was annoying. If it erroneously detects a dupe, oh well, the submitter has to re-assert that it is not a dupe and is somewhat annoyed.
LLM ability to identify roughly duplicate bugs is decent enough. I don't like the hand waving of "AI can write the code, AI can review the code, AI can test the code" to absolute confidence (finding ways to expend more tokens does improve it's success a bit, especially if you can give it a 100% perfect pass/fail test to run and and let it retry), but here it's a pretty straightforward application, just a better fuzzy match at finding duplicate reports.

Yes, though I don't know about nvmeof. I feel like san style block is overall less popular than other sorts of software approaches to distributed storage nowadays.
Storage people keep pushing the way it was done with fiber channel attached controllers abstracting things to generic block devices. Shared sas, fcoe, iscsi/iser... Have seen so many tries at bringing the concept and being ignored in favor of things like clustered filesystems and object store.
Just like hardware raid controllers are nearly non existent in nvme world, and folks are managing multiple disk redundancy in the os, people are looking for more transparent storage solutions and I just don't think nvmeof plays a role instead of direct attached storage to open ended operating systems..

Dual socket epyc can have 160 lanes.
Coincidentally, 40 nvme drives at x4 would use 160 lanes.
However, that would be useless, since you need connectivity beyond the box and misc needs for pcie. So either x2 per drive or pcie switches.
Submission + - Princeton Scraps Honor Code For First Time In 133 Years Because of AI (the-independent.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Princeton University will soon require exams to be supervised for the first time in 100 years — all thanks to students using artificial intelligence to cheat. For 133 years, the Ivy League school’s honor code allowed students to take exams without a professor present, but on Monday, faculty voted to require proctoring for all in-person exams starting this summer. A “significant” number of undergraduate students and faculty requested the change, “given their perception that cheating on in-class exams has become widespread,” the college’s dean, Michael Gordin, wrote in a letter, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Princeton’s honor system dates back to 1893, when students petitioned to eliminate proctors — or an impartial person to supervise students — during examinations, according to the school’s newspaper, The Daily Princetonian. The honor code has long been a point of pride for Princeton. However, artificial intelligence and cellphones have made it easier for students to cheat — and even harder for others to spot, Gordin wrote. Despite the changes to the policy, Princeton will still require students to state: “I pledge my honor that I have not violated the Honor Code during this examination,” according to the Journal.
Students are also more reluctant to report cheating, according to the policy proposal. Students are more likely now to anonymously report cheating due to fears of “doxxing or shaming among their peer groups” online, the proposal says, according to the school newspaper. Under the new guidelines, instructors will be present during exams to act “as a witness to what happens,” but are instructed not to interfere with students. If a suspected honor code infraction occurs, they will report it to a student-run honor committee for adjudication.

Even you admit that it's likely that the data will be sold or resurfaced later. Let's be frank: the idea they wouldn't sell all or part of it or sell access to it seems awfully naive.

Submission + - China Unveils World's First Dual-Core Quantum Computer (tomshardware.com)
hackingbear writes: CAS Cold Atom Technology, a Wuhan-based firm affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), unveiled what it claims is the world's first dual-core quantum computer, according to a report from state-owned publication Science and Technology Daily. The system, called Hanyuan-2, pairs two independent neutral atom arrays inside a single cabinet-sized machine, totaling 200 qubits built from 100 rubidium-85 and 100 rubidium-87 atoms. The twin cores can either run in parallel to split workloads or operate in a "one main and one auxiliary" configuration, where the second array handles real-time error correction while the first executes computations. Hanyuan-2 is built on neutral atom technology, which traps uncharged atoms using laser arrays to cool and manipulate individual neutral atoms as qubits. In a related development, scientists from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have developed a programmable quantum computing prototype called "Jiuzhang 4.0" that has set a new world record for optical quantum information technology, according to a study published on Wednesday in the journal Nature. Jiuzhang-4 can manipulate and detect quantum states of up to 3,050 photons and solve the Gaussian boson sampling problem at a speed more than 10 to the 54th (10^54) times that of the world's most powerful supercomputer, the study said.
