[ArtCraft](https://github.com/storytold?ref=chrisis.now) is an attempt to [reverse-engineer the Adobe suite](https://www.pcmag.com/opinions/can-free-ai-clones-really-replace-photoshop-i-put-lightcraft-and-photocraft?ref=chrisis.now) and make it open-source.

PlayStation 5 is being jailbroken to [support backward compatibility with PS3](https://wccftech.com/playstation-5-modders-expose-ps3-backward-compatibilty-60-fps-hardware/?ref=chrisis.now), something [Sony lied about](https://www.pcmag.com/news/playstation-5-isnt-backwards-compatible-with-ps1-ps2-or-ps3-games?ref=chrisis.now) being impossible.

Nintendo Switch 2 is also getting an [AI-powered jailbreak](https://thisweekinvideogames.com/news/nintendo-switch-2-seemingly-jailbroken-for-first-time-with-help-of-ai-tools/?ref=chrisis.now).

From the PCMag article from the first link:

> Is it ethical? That's up to you to decide. If you ask me, the answer is clear: No way. The whole thing just feels icky, in a nebulous area between plagiarism and piracy.

*Nebolous area between plagiarism and piracy* sounds like an apt description of this *entire* (Gen)AI era. You live in the world you built, corpo.

That said, this AI reverse-engineering [can be used against indie developers as well](https://steamdeckhq.com/news/ai-deters-game-demos/?ref=chrisis.now). In the end, AI is making everything worse.
