Nintendo Switch 2 hacked using an old game and artificial intelligence
The Nintendo Switch 2 has reportedly been jailbroken, featuring custom Mario Kart World characters built with the help of OpenAI's Codex.
The gaming community is buzzing with news that the Nintendo Switch 2 has seemingly been jailbroken, with modders successfully running customized software on the hardware.
A modder known as Sammy Hajhamid, or "pepsipu," showcased the console running a custom version of Mario Kart World. This modded version notably features new playable characters such as Cinnamoroll, the red Angry Bird, Peter Griffin, and Steve from Minecraft.
Intriguingly, OpenAI's Codex reportedly played a role in assisting with the creation of this "ns2jb" jailbreak. This highlights how advanced AI coding assistants are increasingly being utilized in complex software modification and security research.
Such developments capture widespread attention as they demonstrate the rapid evolution of console modding techniques powered by modern machine learning tools.
For technology enthusiasts and developers globally, this event underscores the expanding boundaries of artificial intelligence applications beyond standard software development into hardware and security exploration.
