At what point does something like this cross the line into being malware?

If people keep driving over the corner of your lawn, is putting a rock on that corner to deter that behavior a booby trap?
When it includes executeable code?

The fact that so many people are now running around with "agentic" software that fundamentally can't distinguish between their own "thoughts"/rules and untrusted user input doesn't turn a meme into malware.

Token predictors by themselves are fundamentally insecure, and cannot be made secure without a strong semantic world model. It's like `eval`-ing everything, or auto-coercing strings to objects or function calls, vs having a strong static type system.
