6 hours ago
- Developer Andy Nguyen steps away from the PS5 Linux project after months of work, frustrated with 'slop kiddies' using AI LLMs to find and report a critical hypervisor bug to Sony.
- The reported bug was essential for running Linux on the PS5; its disclosure rendered the exploit unusable and effectively ended the project.
- The project aimed to give users full control over their hardware by enabling a full Linux distribution on the PlayStation 5.
- Nguyen criticizes the misuse of AI by inexperienced users, who destroy the collaborative hacking scene without understanding the consequences.
