I spent a decade in robotics and have built firmware for dozens of devices. And yet I was never able to successfully fix my webcam device driver on linux with Claude. I'm jealous of this person's prompting skills! Or perhaps pwning is easier than fixing the nightmare that is Intel open source device drivers?
There are two nuances here;
1. The author might be exaggerating or lying in regards to the capabilities, ease of use, and result
2. if Claude can do it without hardware access, I struggle to see how it could be anything other than unsigned unencrypted firmware images that you can unpack and mess with
