This is good! I started red teaming LLMs for biorisks/weapons risks in my bedroom in Nov 2022.
In 2023 a lot of people said we were overreacting -- 'models won't be better than internet search'. True then, but the important point is they were going to get a lot better.
Now I think there's clear reason for caution. The ultimate solution is inventing + deploying biodefenses. This is one step.
I fully expect humanity to conquer pandemics in the 21st century
