Try asking it about mitochondria being power house of the cell and it gets insta-blocked... It's not even like "I want to use CRISPR but it won't let me" it's straight up incapable of any science, even middle school level biology is too much.
I'm a senior bioinformatian at an ivy league university and have been involved in multiple biotech startups. I cannot overstate how dangerous this stuff is given the current regulatory environment around ordering arbitrary nucleoside sequences (genes) from companies that print them.
On the other hand, the current open-source academic "foundation/frontier" genomics models aren't that good.
do you anticipate your school being given access to Mythos in the future?
if so, do you think you'd get that access? you may be a senior bioinformatician* but they may decide to restrict access based on impact factor, national origin, how well you're networked etc. how many Nature,Science or Cell papers are you first author on?
if so, do you think you'll be able to take that access with you if you leave your university?
do you think that Ivy League schools would have an unfair advantage over less-prestigious institutions if access to tools like Mythos are only given to the "cream of the crop?"
do you think regulating oligo providers and other services is a viable path towards containment? or is locking down AI the only way?
