Sorry but you're finding patterns in the wind.
The Linux kernel dev and the LF (famously l, in the past) are independent of each other - with the LF being the slower one.
So if you want to forcefully find a connection then it's "Linus stand made the LF take on AI". But even then it's ... Well just another conspiracy: two (of ... "All") institutions talk about the biggest tech hype since .com.
Oh and to be very clear: The LF and with that the AAIF is a corporate organization whose sole purpose is that everyone (read: every corporation) benefits from Linux.
I'm with you, I'm torn apart quite strong: I really enjoy what I can do for myself with LLMs and I often see individual actions of the Linux foundation positive - but the whole thing is... You've or it perfectly: 'concerning' fits perfectly.
Your treat is correct by the way, the kernel is officially a foundation project - it's pure historical observation that the kernel ran ahead of the foundation. I.e. I very well might have missed changes!
The AAIF is actively developing a harness for example as well, goose - which I really liked but ... Ah damn I'm not sure what to think, not even what to write.
Thanks for the dialogue and links! I think, now rereading your original post and my replay, that I've projected a lot into your post that isn't there - highly appreciate your reply!
