    ok. i am a firm believer in owning your hardware. its yours, you should be sble to put whatever you want.

    but these arent slop kiddies. the exploit was found and reported. yes ai was probably used but noing is putting togethet slop. hell mythos has been unleashed on all major programs. there is a reason microsoft is releasing more fixes in one month that all the months before it this year. everyone is trying to grt ahead before these stronger models are released to the general public.
