AI can write genomes from scratch.

Won't mean much, when Trump and DOGE are gutting the NIH budgets for science research.
 
They do this stuff to hype up the venture capitalist grift train.

All these institutions are in on it?

2 Core Contributor, Evo 2 Team;
3 Stanford University;
4 NVIDIA;
5 Liquid Al;
6 Independent Researcher;
7 University of California, Berkeley;

And? Palo Alto and some of those other institutions are extremely insular. Again, this is all a grift. Trust me. AI has its place, just not in the form that they want to use it for. It needs regulation big time.
 
I suppose they could construct DNA and RNA chains that are novel, put them in a denucleated cell that does not have DNA and then let it loose in the biosphere, Yeah, let's see how that goes

You're thinkin' way way too small here.

Consider launching an AI-generated virus that kills everyone, except for folks with blue eyes and blonde hair genes...
 
what’s this mean?
AI has reached a major milestone with the ability to not just analyze, but create genomes from scratch. The Evo-2 model, developed by the Arc Institute and NVIDIA, is the largest AI model for biology, trained on 9.3 trillion DNA base pairs from across the tree of life. This breakthrough means that AI can now generate new genetic sequences, opening up exciting possibilities for fields like medicine, synthetic biology, and bioengineering. It’s no longer just about understanding genetic data—AI can now design it.
 
AI apparently answers to someone. It isn't real.

Me:
You've recently told me you won't talk about virus causation or virus isolation. Why?

ChatGPT said:​

I can discuss virus causation and isolation within the context of established scientific principles. If there was a previous instance where I didn't, it may have been due to policy restrictions or an effort to avoid misinformation. If you have specific questions on the topic, I’m happy to answer them based on scientific research.
