An OpenAI artificial intelligence model has invented more than a dozen new bacteria-infecting viruses after scientists at Stanford University trained the model to recognize patterns of DNA structure in nature and re-write them to create never-before-seen viral genomes.

believe it or not, this isn't all bad.

With the scientific advances, We are all gonna live to 130 years old, working until 120. Complaining that Larry Mullen only looks like he’s 90, that Bono can’t hit the high notes at 110, Edge is still weary the goofy cap, and conceding that Adam is the coolest 100 + year old out there (excluding Keith Richards who will live to 199).

I’m not sure if you’re serious or not but I think this is quite probable

Hopefully if something gets out of the lab, they will destroy all of the documents and then slander anyone who wants to look into it.

But that would never happen.
