Only person to both train a frontier LLM and synthesize viruses calls AI bioweapon doom talk bogus

- A researcher claiming to be possibly the only person with both hands-on frontier LLM training experience and lab virus design/synthesis experience says the "AI will kill us all with engineered viruses" scenario is nonsense.
- Reposting Dan Jeffries frames the doom scenario as childish fantasy hitting the roadblock of reality, citing 1 Cor 13:11.
- The argument rests on his rare dual first-hand expertise in both AI and virology.
