On the other hand, this could have serious implications on the iOS security model for example.
And I'm pretty sure someone is gonna run Doom on the touchbar in some months.
If you follow the links you'll find https://checkra.in/ which gives you a dmg download - however the release notes don't mention anything about a T2 jailbreak. I would treat this with skepticism.
The fact that Apple uses this chip to, among other things, block "unauthorized repair" (can't change a freaking SSD in 2020, really), makes me very happy that people are finding ways to break this chip to make repairs more accessible.

I wonder if this has security implications. The T2 houses the "secure enclave" and that's where your private keys, certificates and passwords are stored.
This is huge! Does anyone know if Apple is able to ship updated software to patch this? I thought the T2 was fairly isolated from the rest of the system. If it’s not easy to fix OTA, this will be really painful for security. Excited to see what sorts of things people build from this though! Would be cool to run a mini OS on the touch bar when the rest of the system is powered off.

It would be a big deal if one could, say, run 'offline' dictionary attacks against secure enclave content.
