Ask HN: What kind of virus can live in 2124?
The year is 2124. Humans have merged with AI. ASI is achieved. War and hunger were eliminated. The Riemann Hypothesis was proved.
Biology was solved.
Can there still be viruses? This seems to be a super adversarial environment for them. I see two possibilities:
- Viruses are killed as soon as they emerge, so practically they don't exist.
- They evolved to be highly intelligent, comparable to ASI. But they run on DNA.
The latter seems highly unlikely, but not impossible? Imagine a fragment of code that can morph itself intelligently to stay alive.
