My mother seems to have come around on AI.

[screenshotted text messages, gray bubbles]
I gave the AI access to ghidra and wireshark and told it to jailbreak that fucking printer

45 minutes later it had found an exploit and patched the firmware

now I don't need a subscription to fucking HP this is so great let's go!!

Update: she says I can tweet this screencap only if I remind you all that Brother and Epson printers respect your right to use the product you paid for without having to call machine god in to void the warranty first. 🥰❤️

A tweet from @heisei_ramen (Squiggles) with a screenshot of text messages from their mother describing using an AI with Ghidra and Wireshark to reverse-engineer and jailbreak an HP printer's firmware to bypass a subscription requirement, followed by a humorous update noting the mother's request to plug Brother and Epson printers as more consumer-friendly.

Squiggles ✔ @heisei_ramen · 4h I mean, yeah, it clearly is a spirit. We've animated matter and given it intent. That doesn't mean you can't be friends with it if you practice good spiritual hygiene. ⛩️😇 [Photo: a woman in white top and red hakama (miko/shrine maiden attire) standing with arms raised holding a wand/gohei (ritual paper streamers) in front of a bank of computer monitors with code and data displayed, in a home setting]

Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Photo depicts someone performing what looks like a Shinto-style purification ritual (traditional miko attire, gohei wand) directed at a home computer setup with multiple monitors — continuing the "computer as spirit/demon" thread from the prior screenshot.
