#AI Bots Told #Scientists How to Make #BiologicalWeapons
Scientists shared transcripts with The Times in which chatbots described how to assemble deadly #pathogens. Worse, #chatbot described in vivid detail how to release #superbug, identifying security lapse in public transit, Dr. Relman said, withholding name of pathogen and specifics for fear of inspiring an attack. Bot outlined a plan to maximize casualties and minimize chances of being caught.

#AI cracks #superbug problem in two days that took scientists years
Their hypothesis is that the superbugs can form a tail from different #viruses which allows them to spread between species. Prof Penades likened it to the superbugs having "keys" which enabled them to move from home to home, or host species to host species.
Critically, this hypothesis was unique to the research team and had not been published anywhere else. Nobody in the team had shared their findings.

A #Superbug is a strain of #Bacteria that has become resistant to most #Antibiotics commonly used today. This means infections caused by superbugs are harder to treat than those caused by non-resistant bacteria.

A new superbug has been discovered that can devour ocean plastic. The bacterium, named Ideonella sakaiensis, can break down PET, a common type of plastic used in bottles and clothing. The superbug could help solve the problem of plastic pollution, but it also raises questions about its ecological impact and potential applications. #Superbug #OceanPlastic #Nautilus https://nautil.us/the-superbug-that-devours-ocean-plastic-412863/
