Thread follow-up: the paper analyzes how such an event would unfold from an AI safety science perspective — (1) how harmful capabilities are developed, (2) deployed, (3) elicited, (4) how safeguards fail, and (5) how detection fails. The authors stress the threat isn't hypothetical: frontier labs and governments already treat AI-enabled bio/chem/cyber attacks as credible concerns.
