Ah, it's like the good old days when operating systems like DOS didn't really make the distinction between executable files and data files. It would happily let you run any old .exe from anywhere on Earth. Viruses used to spread like wildfire until Norton Antivirus came along.

How is `curl virus.sh | bash` or `irm virus.ps | iex` any different?

		You can't easily convince a remote computer to curl \| bash itself. Worms spread because remote code execution was laughably easy back then. Also because computer hygiene was abysmal. LLMs are more than happy to run curl \| bash on your behalf, though. If agents gain any actual traction it's going to be a security nightmare. As mentioned in other comments, nobody wants to babysit them and so everyone just takes all the guardrails off.
