To be more precise, the Science article is about bacteriophages designed with Evo 2, which has been reported a while ago elsewhere, so it’s not a good example. https://www.anthropic.com/news/improving-fable-5-s-biology-safeguards is a better example of the concern that general models have reached a level where they can provide significant uplift to bad actors in the domains of molecular biology and bioengineering.

I agree it’s a real and serious threat, just think it’s lower than some of the others.
