    TLDR

    A user asks whether, from an effective-altruism perspective, biological-risk efforts would be better spent reforming agriculture than addressing theoretical scenarios involving a malign superintelligence inventing viruses in a biolab. In a follow-up, they call it at least plausible that scaling up lab-grown meat and improving poultry disease surveillance could do more per dollar to prevent globally devastating pandemics than investing in AI safety.
