RE: Reflecting on the shitty days of computing

in #life11 months ago

I remember going into the Windows registry and editing files to remove viruses more often than I'd care to remember. Most of the times it came from downloading programs I needed like Photoshop or Maya, you would find the cracked version of it and download that then you'd find the serial key generator and generate all that stuff only to find out it's bogus and now you have a virus. LOL good times. I think they're a lot more viruses out there and we know about and probably are on phones and tablets and computers, but they're probably only specialized in one exploit and they're waiting for you to mess up before they activate. So like a trojan horse bomb waiting for you to go to the right web page and then it's all over. But maybe that's the price we have to pay in this fast-moving world? What happens when we start to get AI viruses that are sentient beings living on your computer based with the intent of doing you harm or stealing your money? Your computer might then be possessed much like a person. Maybe demonic possessions are like viruses in the body? Anyways it's fun to think about and sad and interesting all the same time like a burrito of pondering.
