Exactly. If someone works on bioengineering viruses that could start a global pandemic, they have to ensure a highly secure working environment. Nothing must ever escape the lab unintentionally. It’s basically common sense. Similar standards should be held when doing such experiments with computer programs that are capable of causing global damage. It must physically be impossible to send anything to the internet.
Are we thinking of a situation a few years back with a certain type of research into bat viruses?
Are you conflating that with the radioactive spider incident? The bat was just some weird rich guy trying to be tough I think. Probably Elon.
