The post argues AI-assisted reverse engineering has revived the Hackintosh scene, listing recent claims: macOS 27 ("Golden Gate", which dropped x86 support) running on a Snapdragon laptop, macOS 27.2 Beta on an RK3588 ARM SBC with Mali drivers, iOS 17 on a Nintendo Switch OLED, and 50-series Nvidia GPU support via a project called nullmoth.
