I think if they're active in the speedrunning community, then they're already well aware of this! And for a fun additional example to add to this article, you can often find TAS'ers talking about arbitrary code execution. The legendary GDQ run of TASBot's alternate ending to OoT[0] utiziling an ACE exploit they found in that game absolutely blew me away.

I forgot the details, but I think I saw a YouTube upload of a streamer who wrote flappy bird into super Mario by like… jumping at apples at specific times. Or some weird thing like that lol. I’ll try to find it later on my computer

  Shells, not apples. Making it an actual shellcode!

I love Ocarina of Time speedruns. The sheer level of love that went into that specific run was sooooo beautiful, and like the fact they made it internet live.. via an N64...? I want to shout out ZFG if ppl arent aware cause he has IMO done the most technically impressive real time speedrun of any game - specifically the 100% SRM run he did is inscrutably insane. But it wasn't just about him - it was an effort by so many people. The number of glitches and exploits that have been found by the community, as well as the NP hard routing and tools created for finding angle perfect setups by various people.. It's straight up community driven exploit art. And it's like yeah, the fastest way to beat the game is to practically manually manipulate memory to redirect specific function calls to give you stuff you need and float around and purposely void out facing exactly a 1/65536 perfect angle setup a hundred separate times to randomly jump around to various rooms in the game?? Wowwwww And the community around it is so wholesome. The sheer amount of collective curiosity, ingenuity, and effort to dismantle and exploit a 20+ year old game for no other purpose than going fast.. idk. Love it. Here's a commentated tool assisted human-like run (but not live): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8EE9FXeJnE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8EE9FXeJnE And the actual run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sdxdwnpi-wU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sdxdwnpi-wU

TAS, GDQ, OoT, ACE WDTAM?

  TAS: Tool-Assisted-Speedrun. A kind of speedrunning, where control inputs aren't given by humans, but are carefully pre-programmed into a bot that will replay them. This allows to do things that would otherwise be veeeeery difficult (and sometimes impossible) for humans. GDQ: Games Done Quick, the name of the Youtube channel. OoT: Ocarina of Time, a beloved Zelda game from the 90s. ACE: Arbitrary Code Execution. A vulnerability that lets you run whatever you want. You can use it to skip huge parts of the game, therefore achieving the fast speedrun
