How long until a botnet exploits one of these root kits and puts millions of high-end GPUs to work for whatever. Or a troll just fries everyone's hardware for the lawls.

Or they push a bug by accident that gets the machine into a bootloop? On the bright side hospital and airline computers don't have GTA installed on them so the impact would be reduced to personal computers.
