Someone hacked the Switch 2 by using an old game and AI

A modder known as "pepsipu" has apparently jailbroken the Nintendo Switch 2, demonstrating a custom version of Mario Kart World with new playable characters like Cinnamoroll, the red Angry Bird, Peter Griffin, and Steve from Minecraft. The software-only, tethered "ns2jb" jailbreak was helped by OpenAI's Codex and requires running it from the game SmileBASIC 4 each time the console is turned on, though another modder claims that title is "not strictly needed." The exploit remains complex and its full impact is unclear, but it could mark the start of more Switch 2 exploits, especially if modders use AI to help.
