The question is not if, it's when. I am dead serious that we will have never seen a cybersecurity incident like this before, because it can self-mutate at a pace much faster than random mutation in physical viruses.

Workshopped a phrase for it a bit with @quintessencequintessence :blobfoxcofecute: last night: "evolution through artificially intelligent design" of malicious behaviors.

The only solution I can think of once this happens is to shut down network access, particularly to AI service providers, and roll back to software distros based on software that came out a year older and patch our way back up against known CVEs while we try to sort everything out.
