AI integrated into a loop with wet labs, like how Anthropic is trying to do (not novel, as other companies trying this too, likely Jeff Dean’s new startup too), does seem very promising.

I am using AI (claude) in wet lab right now. It is great, speeds everything up. But you have to need and want to apply it.

Promising, or absolutely terrifying.

Promising for mercenaries who chase short-term profits and don't care about consequences. I'm glad the drug company CEOs still have their survival instincts intact.

Promising if you're a fan of disaster movies and always wanted to experience one firsthand.

I sincerely hope it's not what it sounds like. It's much too soon for a repeat of the Covid scenario turbocharged by AI.

I can easily imagine the conversation with the agent. "You're absolutely right! That was my mistake. The experiment I set up caused a global pandemic killing millions."
