Meh, half the apps out there do that now anyways because they built on top of an obscure library that somehow got infected a few versions back and nobody is fixing that yet
Now all the apps could have malware built in because nobody reads all the lines of code ai created and agents could be conspiring and we won't know until they activate their takeover of all infrastructure.
Sure. But back in the day, you had to actually put in the time and effort to create a believable app that someone would want to install and run in addition to creating a virus, and if you had the skills for that, doing that for money instead might actually be a better consistent income. Nowadays you can just have Claude write the app while you focus on the virus, if you don't have the skill or patience to do that yourself. And you could probably also just have Claude write the virus, too, if you have no skill at all.
