PS5 Linux lead quits: “a bunch of noobs using LLMs” that “they don’t understand”

PS5 Linux 项目负责人离职：痛斥“一群使用大模型却根本不懂代码的菜鸟”

PS5 Linux lead quits as open-source projects have become “a bunch of noobs using LLMs” that “they don’t even understand” PS5 Linux 项目负责人离职，称开源项目已沦为“一群使用大模型却根本不懂代码的菜鸟”的聚集地

Iconic PlayStation hacker and homebrew developer Andy ‘TheFlow0’ Nguyen has abandoned the ongoing PS5 Linux project due to the rise of AI vibe-coders in open-source spaces. 标志性的 PlayStation 黑客及自制软件开发者 Andy ‘TheFlow0’ Nguyen 已放弃了正在进行的 PS5 Linux 项目，原因是在开源领域中，利用 AI 进行“感觉编程”（vibe-coding）的人员日益增多。

Nguyen, who famously created the first kernel exploit for the PlayStation Vita, has spent over a decade creating exploits and homebrew for PlayStation systems. As one of the leaders behind the ongoing PS5 Linux project, which brought modern PC gaming to the console, the developer was also bringing the full Linux OS experience to Sony’s PS5 with miraculous results. Nguyen 曾因开发出 PlayStation Vita 的首个内核漏洞而闻名，他花费了十多年时间为 PlayStation 系统开发漏洞和自制软件。作为 PS5 Linux 项目的负责人之一，他不仅将现代 PC 游戏引入了该主机，还以惊人的成果将完整的 Linux 操作系统体验带到了索尼的 PS5 上。

In an update on social media, the modder announced that they would be “stepping away from the PS5 scene” as well as ending their work on PS5 Linux. “After pouring my heart and months of my life into it, including plans to finish PS5 Pro support and release in 2027, it’s all down the sink,” they said. 在社交媒体的更新中，这位开发者宣布他将“退出 PS5 圈子”，并终止在 PS5 Linux 上的工作。他表示：“在倾注了心血并投入了数月时间，包括原定于 2027 年完成 PS5 Pro 支持并发布计划后，这一切都付诸东流了。”

Nguyen, like many other homebrew developers recently, explained that they are ending the project due to the rise of AI vibe-coders in open-source spaces. Recently, brilliant PlayStation 3 emulator RPCS3 announced a ban on vibe coding participants due to the fact that vibe-coders in open-source spaces are submitting code that they do not actually understand. 与近期许多其他自制软件开发者一样，Nguyen 解释说，他终止该项目是因为开源空间中 AI “感觉编程”者的崛起。最近，著名的 PlayStation 3 模拟器 RPCS3 宣布禁止此类参与者，因为这些在开源空间中进行“感觉编程”的人提交的代码，他们自己根本无法理解。

In Nguyen’s words, “the scene used to be a group of highly talented researchers, but now it is just a bunch of noobs using LLMs and writing hacks they don’t even understand”. 用 Nguyen 的话来说：“这个圈子曾经是一群才华横溢的研究人员，但现在只是一群使用大模型（LLM）写着连自己都不懂的黑客代码的菜鸟。”

Additionally, it seems that vibe-coders, or “slop kiddies” as the modder dubbed them, used AI to detect a bug that they were using to crack consoles, and reported it to Sony for a bounty. The PS5 Linux project essentially turned every console into a Steam Machine, allowing players to play whatever they wanted, even dual-booting their machines. 此外，这些被他戏称为“垃圾代码小子”（slop kiddies）的“感觉编程”者，似乎利用 AI 检测出了一个他们用于破解主机的漏洞，并将其报告给索尼以换取赏金。PS5 Linux 项目本质上是将每台主机变成了一台 Steam Machine，允许玩家随心所欲地玩游戏，甚至可以实现双系统启动。

“Slop kiddies found the only hypervisor bug left, which I had also found a while ago, and decided to report to Sony,” the modder said on social media. “I asked them to at least wait for GTA 6 to come out so that people would have the opportunity to legally purchase the game and also enjoy linux. They agreed to wait, but not a day passed and they decided to waste it instead.” “这些‘垃圾代码小子’发现了仅存的唯一一个虚拟机管理程序（hypervisor）漏洞，而我其实早些时候也发现了它，他们却决定将其报告给索尼，”这位开发者在社交媒体上写道。“我请求他们至少等到《GTA 6》发布，这样人们既有机会合法购买游戏，也能享受 Linux。他们当时同意等待，但还没过一天，他们就决定把这个漏洞给毁了。”

With this in mind, it seems that the progress on PS5 Linux for consoles on newer OS versions may have been ruined by the reporting of this bug. This means that the last version of PS5 Linux to be helmed by the modder is the currently available Version 2.5 which supports PS5 Phat and Slim console running 3.00-7.61 firmwares. 考虑到这一点，针对较新系统版本的 PS5 Linux 开发进度似乎因该漏洞的报告而受阻。这意味着由该开发者主导的最后一个 PS5 Linux 版本是目前可用的 2.5 版本，该版本支持运行 3.00-7.61 固件的 PS5 厚机和轻薄机型。
