George Hotz comes a long way from the days of the first iPhone jailbreak.

I would love to hear a podcast on his life and career so far.

I fondly remember the details of the first iPhone jailbreak and the intricate detailed explanation he put out at the time.




He was on the Lex Fridman podcast twice. He's definitely an interesting guy. I've been following comma.ai for some time now it's really cool seeing how much they've accomplished.

I talked with him in the olden days[0]. Great guy. Incisive questions, got to the heart of things in very few words.

The first iPhone jailbreak is simply exposing a debug port

The current iPhone jailbreak requires the effort of nation states.

I know who's winning.


Sure. But it was a "stick it to the man" moment.
