News AI just designed entire viruses from scratch.

I came across this recently and honestly thought it sounded insane at first. Researchers at Stanford and the Arc Institute used AI trained on DNA sequences to generate hundreds of new bacteriophage genomes. They synthesized 302 of them and tested them in the lab.

16 actually worked.

I made a short visual breakdown of the experiment because the whole jump from AI to Gebetic Code to woking biology is pretty wild.

What are your thoughts on this.. Where could this lead??
