@DavidRBellamy I read "When scientists can't find friends" and it was a lot funnier.

@DavidRBellamy If data is across several orders of magnitude and you want to investigate scaling laws, loglog is useful.

When scientists can’t find trends, they plot the logarithm of all variables. https://t.co/e1QAUTA6ff

In sum, when you actually know something about building a laboratory, lab automation, and what goes into synthesizing a virus and testing its properties, it becomes clear that AI does not impact this very much.
At best, it provides bad actors with a quicker way than the

And at the end of the day, even if a fully automated, API-driven lethal viral synthesis lab existed and an AI wields it month over month, year over year, to perform cell/mouse experiments to create a lethal virus, that lethality is being measured in model organisms not in humans.

So the idea that 'RSI' - ie, the accelerating hillclimbing on fully verifiable, digital-only benchmarks (predominantly programming and math) - can somehow transform the entire wet lab virology field and its industry is utterly delusional.
Simply procuring the machines needed to

Second of all, the science of creating an infectious virus is not airtight the way this fearmongering assumes. It is largely unsolved and advancing this requires real-world iterations that are bound by the laws of physics. An experiment in this hypothetical lab cannot experiment

The thing is, already this lab cannot exist today. This would be the single most advanced lab facility in the world from an automation and API integration standpoint. I know because I literally worked on building a fully automated, API-driven lab previously.

And yet, *even in this case*, every lab requires physical supplies. Would this lab order pre-assembled DNA sequences (i.e. viral genomes)? Well, DNA synthesis companies have safeguards on the sequences they build. So I guess this superintelligence is able to design a novel enough

Now let's imagine that this lab is fully API-driven. That this >>$100M lab built specifically to synthesize a dangerous family of viruses is able to be operated completely autonomously.
Everyone should be asking themselves at this point: why the hell would this ever exist in

Let me steelman the fearmongering as much as I can. Imagine a 'fully automated' viral synthesis laboratory. I'm talking automated freezers, automated cell culture room, the whole nine yards. This would be an extremely expensive lab - >>$100M. And there is no such thing as 1 lab

Designing a virus that can evade all forms of pandemic counterdefense is not something that a 'genius in a datacenter' can do. This is something that requires contact with the physical world and iteration.

Could an LLM propose a viral genome to synthesize? Sure. Could it be synthesize-able? Sure. Could it be infectious? Sure, it could just be a replica or a slight modification of a viral genome we already know.
This really isn't the bottleneck to creating dangerous viruses. The

I must be among an extremely small group of people (n=1?) that have both 1) trained a frontier LLM and 2) designed and synthesized custom viruses in a lab with my own two hands.
And I think that the takes on AI killing us all by creating dangerous viruses is total bogus.
