How would a malicious actor:
1. Successfully turn these 20k pathogens into actual reproducing viruses / bacteria / etc (in a lab)
2. Successfully turn that lab prototype into something weaponized (i.e. as a bio-terrorism drop in NYC)
And then
3. How is this materially different from today? If we can produce these pathogens in a lab and they can be successfully turned into a weaponizable bioweapon, what is AI accelerating?
