AlphaR in Web n.0 forum writes in regard to an item on Slashdot about botnets. The writer speculates about ... "autonomous network viruses" .. seeking .. "to coordinate their behavior as a community" and probing systems using trial and error type behavior.
Other "semi-autonomous agent applications" the writer says might one day be used to "spread information, truthful or otherwise, or tilt news and/or polls toward a certain opinion".
Probably not that far fetched...
