If Hantavirus mutated into a global threat, it would unleash AI + biotech unlike anything we've ever seen. > genome sequenced and public in 4 hours > AlphaFold maps every protein target > AI screens 10,000 drugs in 24 hrs > 50 vaccine candidates designed simultaneously > AI designed antibodies in days > risk of death computed instantly > decentralized trials launch globally > enroll from home > 20 countries manufacturing at once > first doses in three weeks > real-time dose characterization > your genome + biomarkers determine your protocol > variant map updates every hour No one would wait for governments.

“Taste” is the new hype word sf tech bros use when they don’t know what else to say smh

All frontier AI companies have to do is cure one type of cancer and most of the rational public will flip

SITUATION DETECTED: Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Demis Hassabis have signed a joint open letter calling on Congress to mandate screening of synthetic nucleic acid orders, citing AI’s rapidly improving ability to assist with biological research as an urgent biosecurity risk.

Today we are announcing our collaboration with Pfizer to put Chai's frontier AI—including our latest model, Chai-3—directly into the hands of one of the world's leading pharmaceutical teams.

performative conscience

Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis and many others have signed a letter urging Congress to increase security on orders of synthetic nucleic acids - and the equipment needed to make them - as models continue to become increasingly bio-capable.

All the people doing protein interaction predictions. With the release of openBind, why not train a model on that, then fine-tune it on PPI?

At this point, this biosecurity letter feels like pure theater a repeat of Mythos and Glasswing. create the issue, then pass the liability If it’s a real problem, more paperwork isn’t the solution.
