This really sucks. The future of a lot of 2010s gaming consoles depended on vulnerabilities being found in early versions of firmware - where they were likely to be made, since most features were built in those versions - that never get patched through to later releases. We probably shouldn’t be surprised that sloppers are self-centered, greedy, and lazy enough to publish this immediately to Sony, since they probably think they deserve credit for being the AI race horse’s owner. Fuck the millions of console owners in 10 years, I guess.
Slop kiddies. Nice term.
And obviously, there’s the AI fanboys in the comments of the article.
Does kind of suck having someone pull the rug out from under you and an overall positive you were trying to do for the community so they can get a quick payday… but getting scooped like this happens in life. Assholes are gonna asshole, because “if they don’t do it, somebody else will”.
And sure this is the last discovered hypervisor bug, but in a software as complicated as the PS5 firmware, you’re gonna find more eventually, especially if/when they add features.
Nobody thought a software bug was ever gonna be found in the XB360, and now we have BadUpdate taking literally seconds to exploit your console from a USB - I mean it did take 20 something years for the right person to come along and try it, but the point is it’ll happen eventually.

I didn’t have to read it. This the same narcissist that quit PSVita development because a friend leaked an alpha publicly he meant keep still in QA. Are all Sonyfans NPDs?
though, I do agree in using the insult «slopers»
People who are world-class at something are often weird about it. Athletes, scientists, musicians, you name it.
I am extremely aware
— world class programmer still wanted by multiple intelligences.
I thought the name sounded familiar
the repo could easily be cloned and work could continue on the project
What would be the point?

there is a reason microsoft is releasing more fixes in one month that all the months before it this year.
Over half of the fixes are patching bugs from the previous slop-coded patch, and they continue to break Windows
I mean, maybe, but that’s just speculation. It’s closed source and there’s no way to verify it.
If AI wasn’t driving exploit research and producing more results than ever, why are Linux CVEs also at record highs compared to years past?

Sloppy coders introducing bugs with AI that they then fix with AI? Perhaps. But there’s plenty of examples where AI is finding exploits in packages that haven’t been touched since AI was invented.

Its fine to use AI to find exploits IMO. Helps everyone, even if it does release a torrent of notices. However it’s highly unethical to claim a reward after using AI to find it. The reward is for skill, no to see if you could buy a Claude subscription. Hell if anyone “deserved” the award it would be anthropic, not the person running the Claude session. But really it should just be unclaimed.
i am unaware a reward was available here. i just saw ny downvotes. i was just saying, someone found a bug and it was patched. thats what i got from the article
