The point is that Mythos apparently is quite capable and has developed novel exploits on its own.

It takes nothing but stark intentional ignorance to make a statement like yours.

It absolutely boggles my mind at the suggestion that green energy is all profit seeking, as if the counterparties in big oil aren't also just as or more interested in maintaining status quo in the opposite direction. Yet I never see someone who expresses ideas like this recognize or acknowledge that.

Edit: I should've read, "Impact: Processing a malicious image file may result in memory corruption."

So simply receiving an image via SMS or loading it in some other way likely accomplishes the initial exploit, so yeah, zero click exploit. Always bad.

It's not choosing species we like as much as that there was previously an equilibrium all ecosystems trend towards, and our influence (killing the wolves) lead to significant ecosystem imbalances that hurt more than just wolves.

Philosophically though you're correct- humans very easily see themselves as "apart" from the environment, when really we're just another mammal doing our thing. We are nature as much as we are in it, even for all of our tools and manufacturing.

I don't think this is intended to track the type of folks who leave their AIS broadcasting.
