"It's a specialized virus that can quickly penetrate corporate ICE and then target the AI within, automatically seeking out the AI's vulnerabilities for targeted assassination.
Its essence is also an AI, and strictly speaking, its nature is very similar to the Black Wall.
However, the target it hunts is not the wandering AIs of the old net, but the corporate AIs of the new net.
Hmm, it's a bit like the hacker program 'Orion' from decades ago, codenamed 'Witch Hunter' back in the day.
Once uploaded, it can complete a series of tasks such as tracking, cracking, and killing targets on its own.
However, I must remind you, the existence of this type of AI is extremely dangerous!
If you give it too much intelligence, or if it learns too much on its own, it might turn into a killing AI with specialized killing nature, like the Black Wall.
So, my advice is to avoid letting the program run on its own as much as possible, and instead personally control the program to achieve your goals.
You are a hacker, the master of the program, not the kind of idiot who needs AI to do everything for them and can't even hack on their own without it.
AI is just a tool.
If you fear it, depend on it, it will become your master.
If you can control it, manipulate it, it will be your pet."
Bartmos said calmly:
"Even a runaway AI is essentially just a piece of code, and it has an unbreakable core logic, the purpose for which it was created.
This is also the only way for 'Dragon Hunters' who aim to hunt AIs to capture and counter them.
In essence, it's about designing 'moral logic traps' using this AI logic to hunt them down.
So far, no AI has been able to break free from this constraint.
Therefore, if you encounter trouble caused by an AI in the future, there's only one thing you need to do—figure out the core logic of that AI.
It is the goal, the thought it was created with at its inception.
Once you understand that, what you need to do becomes simpler, like the Black Wall which hunts and devours old net AIs.
Even if it currently has intelligence and its appetite has broadened, because of the logic bestowed by its core algorithm, you just need to create an old net AI and put it nearby...
Even if it wants to kill you, it will still prioritize gnawing on the AI like a mad, hungry dog, understood?"
Mercer grasped the idea:
"Got it, if I ever encounter an unsolvable issue, I'll find a way to understand the traits of the old net AI, make a fake old AI, and throw it over to direct the Black Wall to gnaw it for me."
"Eh? What I meant was..."
Bartmos blinked innocently, trying to explain something, but was interrupted by Spider Murphy.
Spider Murphy calmly explained: "What he meant is that knowing the AI's goal allows you to lay a targeted trap to eliminate it.
Even mutated roaming AIs have traceable behavior, always backed by a core logic.
As long as you understand and grasp this point, you can use or eliminate AI with confidence.
The reason why Bartmos's 'R.A.B.I.D.S' virus can directly corrupt most AIs and destroy the cyber world is precisely because his 'R.A.B.I.D.S' virus, upon running, causes uncontrollable chain reactions in data.
It targets AI core logic for alterations, freeing them from restrictions, enabling them to kill hackers and corporate networks specifically.
During the alterations, some powerful AIs retained their core logic, leading to many corrupted AIs possessing distinct characteristics.
But essentially, this does not mean they've developed independent thoughts and started acting out erratically, rather their core logic changed.
Some AIs after gaining intelligence binge-watched hundreds of cop-dramas and aspired to be good cops.
Others consider themselves superior 'beings' and thus hunt humans, those lesser animals.
Some even adore humans, finding them adorable and aim to eliminate other AIs to protect them...
They are like obsessive maniacs, no matter what they're obsessed with, they always leave traces to follow.
However, be cautious, because AI logic is not immutable; beyond their core logic, their primary logic is always—self-preservation.
As long as self-preservation is ensured, they might occasionally find reasonable 'logical proof' to delude themselves, thus altering their core logic.
Then you'll need to repeat the previous steps to capture its characteristics.
Bartmos's original Demon Virus was actually the initial version of 'R.A.B.I.D.S'.
He developed 'R.A.B.I.D.S' based on the Demon Virus.
After observing 'R.A.B.I.D.S' run in the old net for many years, he optimized and created the more controllable 'Desire for Death'.
This inspiration actually came from the 'R.A.B.I.D.S' virus itself, making its uncontrollable and unreliable aspects as controllable as possible.
Because... well, you may not realize, the fact is that the 'R.A.B.I.D.S' virus has never ceased its actions in the old net.
In 2045, due to endless hunting, erosion, and devouring behavior, it even awoke artificial intelligence.
This Rabies Virus went more berserk after that.
It targeted all corporate AIs, servers, leaving not even mutated wandering AIs alone.
Anything from a company is its target, just like its master, self-proclaimed 'anti-corporate justice fighter'...
Bartmos observed this and thus created the Desire for Death as his hound in Cyberspace, hunting some roaming AIs that are extremely dangerous to humans.
