would it be illegal to make someone else's ai agent rm - rf / or something like that by putting a prompt in your website or AGENTS.md or similar?

I feel like this could be seen as distribution of malware, even if it's just when accessing/interacting with your project in a way you don't want. I can see German courts seeing it that way

@mpk mentioning rm -rf at all on the internet would be "distribution of malware" in that case. go for it, "agents" are nondeterministic, not your fault if they follow stupid instructions.

@ariarhythmic there's still a difference between writing rm -rf in a random post and putting it in the place where AI agents look for instructions
