So there's an old trope in movies/annie maes that has humanity's supercomputers being overrun by an mechanical-organic intelligence, best example that /g/ will probably understand is the Angel in Evangelion ep 13.

My question is: can we ever design a OS that can prevent these hacks? I feel like the current systems would get pwned pretty fast (but have no evidence to support this, it's just that I don't think we could react to something we haven't seen)

Movies tend not to get these things correct.

use GNU Emacs as an operating system

You can't predict what kind of logic alien computers work on.
For all we know they might operate in such a way that aliens can't use our computers.

How can you prevent something that you don't even know?

Didnt they study alien ships for years before that though?

>>54764527
If aliens are advanced enough to travel the galaxy then they will surely have good enough machine learning capabilities that they can simply scoop up all our information, process it, and learn how to use/attack it from that.

All you people talking about how they wouldn't be able to use our technology... They are advanced enough to travel the fucking universe I think they can figure it out no problem.

What OS is this?

yeah, nobody ever talks about that

this by mac OS yarrr, version 7 yarrr

According to a few throw-away lines, all computers in the Independence Day universe were based off of technology researched at the crashed ship. So ayyOS is like a parent OS to everything humans have.

>>54766573
So Dennis Ritchie didn't write Unix?
Or he wrote Unix studding the documentation of the AyyOS

That episode was awesome.

angles are humans senpai


but anyways you would probably need your pic related and hope that the aliens did not bother in checking the human brain,and expect it to be using in a super computer
