Brain: The First Computer Virus
- bediger4000 10mo agoThe writing style screams AI slop - whole chunks of prose repeating what's already appeared, but in slightly different words. And it contains egregious errors: Brain was not the first virus, Elk Cloner appeared in 1982, 4 years before Brain. The whole idea was in the air in the early 1980s - Fred Cohen published an academic paper on computer viruses in 1984. Garbage article.
