Replacing my OS process scheduler with an LLM

SMRTR summary

BrainKernel is a new process manager that replaces traditional CPU monitoring with AI analysis, using large language models to determine whether running processes are legitimate system functions or unnecessary bloatware. The tool goes beyond basic CPU usage statistics by examining process behavior, parentage, and disk activity to make intelligent decisions about what should be terminated, while offering features like "Roast Mode" that insults processes before killing them and protective measures for essential applications like browsers and development tools.
