Theory 2: A Generative Malware Art Project
A more unsettling theory posits that “Malignant -v0.2-” is not a game but an actual executable, circulated carefully as a proof-of-concept for “generative malware”—code that rewrites itself using a local LLM. Deaufosse, in this theory, is a Swiss-German net artist who released v0.1 as a purely conceptual white paper. v0.2 is the first functional prototype. It doesn’t steal data or lock files.
