WEEKS NOT YEARS. “In a long-term experiment with E. coli bacteria, one particular strain evolved the ability to metabolize a new carbon source (citrate) after about 31,500 generations, a complex adaptation that required a multitude of mutations. Given the drastically shorter generation time of computer viruses, generations of this order of magnitude can be achieved within weeks at most.”
