Anthropic just opened a wet lab for biology experiments. The irony is thick: this is the same company publicly warning about AI existential risks and potential human extinction within a decade. Now they're running physical biology experiments with AI systems. The move raises questions about their risk assessment consistency—if you genuinely believe your AI tech could lead to catastrophic outcomes, why add biological experimentation into the mix? Either their public doom messaging is overblown, or they're taking calculated risks that contradict their own warnings. The lab likely focuses on using AI for protein folding, drug discovery, or synthetic biology tasks, but the optics are wild given their alignment-focused brand positioning.
