The first virus Windows 95 can’t catch.

Windows 95 can’t run most of the modern virus files. It is mostly 16bit DOS that loads the 32bit initilization before the GUI presents itself. Anything looking for Win2k (NT) paths will fail. The virus wont know where the OS folder is

One of the few interesting uses of AI ive seen. I wonder how effective it is at actually ex filtrating data and evading detection. As a user its pretty obvious when local ai is running on my machine by the sound of my fans spinning up.

That’s some pretty big malware if it includes an entire LLM model. This puts a pretty harsh limit on possible routes of infection.

Good to know Microsoft and friends would like you to have that functionality and a dedicated chip out of the box. I’m yet to hear if copilot or such have any limit on what code they can generate.
