Modder Uses AI to Jailbreak Switch 2, Adds Wild Characters
22 Oct
Summary
- Nintendo Switch 2 has reportedly been jailbroken by a modder.
- An AI tool named Codex assisted in creating the jailbreak exploit.
- Custom Mario Kart World now features characters like Peter Griffin.
A significant breakthrough has occurred as the Nintendo Switch 2 has reportedly been jailbroken. This development allows a modder to run a customized version of Mario Kart World, introducing new playable characters such as Cinnamoroll, the red Angry Bird, Peter Griffin, and Steve from Minecraft.
Sammy Hajhamid, also known as 'pepsipu', claims that OpenAI's Codex AI contributed to the creation of this 'ns2jb' jailbreak. It is described as a software-only, tethered exploit, meaning it necessitates running from a game upon each console startup to function. While the full implications are still under discussion among users, this exploit might herald a new wave of security vulnerabilities for the Switch 2, especially with AI assistance.
