This was Opus 5.5, with a task that substantially overlaps with defeating the anti-cheat of an AAA publisher.

Local and open source models are more important than ever, or those who control the hardware will dictate what AI can or cannot be used for.

Just gave this a try. I asked Opus 5.5 for help stripping the smart TV features from my LG TV. Got sent down to Opus 4.8. Fortunately it had no qualms about helping me... for the moment.

I asked how to flash a custom WebOS to my tv and it did the same thing.
