Modder exploits GeForce NOW to run a full Windows desktop through a simple file swap (www.tomshardware.com)

By swapping a game binary for a modified one that gives access to the desktop he was able to trick the system into thinking he was playing authorized material, and even got local AI models to run on the 48GB VRAM a6000 card that powers the system. I can't imagine this hole will go unpatched for long though.

Rip anyone who was gaming on the same server when he filled up the vram with ai models
