> where sufficiently capable models may be able to quickly weaponize pandemic-level viruses with widely available materials

if someone figures out a way to give an LLM full operational control over a virus lab, we've got a whole different set of problems than the ones Dario is describing

If someone gives LLM control of such lab my best guess is soon they have no lab... Actually giving LLMs control of virus lab might be best thing one can do for continued existence of humanity.
