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. |
