Okay, I'm pretty sure it's time to stop playing God. Kill every scientist and blow the fuck up electrical grids.

Silly luddite, the botshot is perfectly safe and cures every common dise-ACK

When does some kid with latest tech just start programming these guys to conquer peoples unorthodox views on wealth.

Not that there was any doubt.

these viruses can't do anything

Yes killing 99% of professionals who have nothing to do with this is logical

those are bacteriophages which are beneficial they target specific strains of bacteria not human cells

According to op saving lives is "playing god", that wouldn't change his mind
>>
>>17038535
Does this mean we can design a virus that can finally depopulate India?
>>
>>17039273
It already exists, it's called soap and water
>>
>>17039190
Yes, good thing every virologist in the world has made a pinky-promise to only engineer bacteriophages... oh, oops, they didn't even promise? There are entire labs dedicated to engineering microbes that infect humans? And what do you mean "we need bacteria like E. coli to live"?

>i hate gene therapy and immunotherapy because it uses viral vectors
Cool, then fuck off and die somewhere so you don't "play god". Most people want to live longer and better lives
>>
>>17039407

Anon is correct.
Another important part - that bacteriophage was synthesized from scratch with assistance from AI. Before that, virus engineering was simply about editing existing bacteriophages. This is a virus from scratch. How many steps before creating actual life from scratch? And that's if don't consider viruses life. Viruses are hard to pinpoint and people still argue if they're life or not. Shit's fucked.

yeah it is a bit of a wake up call i dont know how the cat is put back in the bag at this point though with the capabilities of open weight models china is releasing the world of science is going to move faster than society can handle i fear

Not all bacteriophages are harmless.

So you want to play God and kill billions of people.
