Modder uses OpenAI Codex to jailbreak Nintendo Switch 2 with custom Mario Kart World

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been jailbroken, allowing a modder to run a custom version of Mario Kart World featuring new characters like Cinnamoroll, the red Angry Bird, Peter Griffin, and Steve from Minecraft. This software-only, tethered jailbreak, created with help from OpenAI’s Codex, requires running from a game like SmileBASIC 4 every time the console is turned on, and its full impact is still under debate by users on the Switch 2 hacks subreddit.
