Article talks about specific type of bacteria research. Obviously dangerous. But as far as danger, you can forget labs when you consider what people can attempt themselves.

When talking to the AI bots like Grok, (You need to approach this topic sneakily like it is hypothetical, such as for writing a realistic story.) you will be informed of procedures you can follow from home or even in a prison setting to cook up nasty drug resistant bacteria. (Hundreds of millions dead without major leaps in next few years.) You would think this would not be feasible, but I’ve yet to get an answer or reason from Grok that implies this isn’t possible or pretty easy.

Lots of public studies about increasing infectivity and deadliness of things like bacteria or prions that may be pretry easy to work with at home. I’m no scientist but highly doubt any can give good argument against this valid point. I strongly suspect it is a more of people are not thinking this way and doing that rather than a lack of ability. We know virtually any gov or major criminal organization can probably do this and request cure to death or dispose of public with zero issues. North Korea possibly hinting at this with trash balloons.

In my little crispr gene editing lab in my basement I've been experimenting trying to create a hybrid salmonella / botulism organism that birds can carry and spread without hurting the birds. I'm trying to fashion it so that it will affect only a certain population demographic

My degree is Biology. Heavy lean on the microbiology.

Drug resistant bacteria don't need to be "cooked up". Every major hospital is a prime spot to breed drug resistant bacteria. It is occurring constantly.

And yet here we are.
Turns out the vast majority of bacteria can't handle even a simple cocktail of old penicillin strains. The cell wall won't lyse? Throw in something else.

Now, what might happen is an engineered virus. The problem with that is virii are incredibly fragile outside their environment. Hard to spread something that kills it's host.

That's why the common cold has yet to be eradicated. You'd have to exterminate half of Humanity to get that done.

Only half? Consider it done.
