Targeting humans with bioweapons may have been genuinely difficult but will probably become much easier for several reasons like the following:
Indoor airborne aerosols are now known to be a significant (and likely dominant) vector of transmission in fast-spreading pandemics
Bioterrorist groups like Aum didn’t try hard enough (like using different types and variants of dangerous viruses and letting evolution do the rest)
LLMs, agents, and other digital tools might make some amount of rational design and digital evolution of viruses easier before release
