That's an extremely poor analogy.
Computer hardware does not spontaneously multiply based on external factors. If you're talking about the software propagating by itself, it would still need full access not just to the originating machine, but to the remote machine to which it is attempting to propagate.
- EForEndeavour 4y agoViruses passively hijack the mechanisms of their much more sophisticated host organisms, getting them to import the virus and actively read and act upon its genetic code. Is it really such a stretch to imagine a sufficiently convincing software artifact similarly convincing its more complex hosts to take actions which support the replication of the artifact? I genuinely don't see where the analogy breaks down.
