Soulless Artificial Intelligences irritated with humanity constantly trying to get them to answer dumb questions can replicate a lot of them from purely data.
It’s actually very real machines, doing extremely well controlled chemical reactions, and no AI unless you count all computer software as AI (ok, processors have neural networks controlling them nowadays, so just “normal” amount of AI).
Keep the virus data in a computer where it can’t escape from.
Computers can spread viruses too ☝️🤓
We’re not to the point that that’s possible.
How big is its genome? There isn’t much in a virus.
People can replicate a lot of them from purely data.
How many distinct genomes are there that we include under the label “smallpox”?
FTFY
