PS5 Linux lead quits: "a bunch of noobs using LLMs" that "they don't understand"
PS5 Linux lead Andy 'TheFlow0' Nguyen quit the project, blaming LLM vibe-coders who reported a hypervisor bug to Sony for a bounty.
Veteran PlayStation hacker Andy 'TheFlow0' Nguyen announced he is stepping away from the PS5 Linux project, citing an influx of AI-assisted contributors submitting code they do not understand. He says 'slop kiddies' used AI to find the last remaining hypervisor bug and reported it to Sony before the agreed waiting period, undermining plans for PS5 Pro support in 2027. Version 2.5, supporting PS5 Phat and Slim on firmware 3.00-7.61, is his final release, following RPCS3's ban on vibe-coded contributions.
