Although there are a few ways to mitigate the risk, the only way to block it is to get AI to differentiate instructions from data, which is impossible today.

      I might be misinterpreting parody, but you can most definitely run AI tooling on Linux. And it has most of the same vulnerabilities, if not additional/different ones.

        You can definitely install AI software on Linux but it’s unlikely one will catch a malware through an OS-embedded Copilot or MS Apps

        Thats true but theres a relatively stronger anti-AI or at least more controlled AI view among Linux users.

          Most of the people developing AI are Linux users.

              But those are probably dwelling in their moms basement and don’t have access to critical infrastructure…
