    Misleading title, there's another major reason: it's an embargo agreement violation that jeopardizes Linux support on PS5.

      &gt; The scene used to be a group of highly talented researchers, but now it is just a bunch of noobs using LLMs and writing hacks they don&#x27;t even understand. Slop kiddies found the only hypervisor bug left, which I had also found a while ago, and decided to report to Sony.

      I don’t know if he’s mad AI scooped a bug? Or that LLM slop kiddies don’t pay attention to that something is already known?

        Reading all of the quotes it seems he&#x27;s more annoyed that they disclosed the bug to Sony to collect the bounty, and that they&#x27;re using AI as an afterthought
