Anthropic blocks possible attempt to use AI to make biological weapons

The script

Panel 1

Alex (excitedly) Sam (dryly) Robin (grinning)

Alex: Hey Sam, have you heard about the AI that can predict and counteract all known viruses? It’s like having a biological shield against any outbreak!

Sam: Alex, we’ve already seen the AI community being vigilant. They’re on it. Let’s hope they don’t let their guard down.

Robin: Wait, did Sam just imply Anthropic is the one to watch?

Panel 2

Sam (sighing) Alex (enthusiastically) Robin (raising an eyebrow)

Sam: Well, it’s not like we have a better option. If we’re going to let AI develop this kind of tech, we’d be better off with Anthropic on our side.

Alex: But they’re working on something that’s a double-edged sword! They need to be extra careful not to fall into the trap of using this for something harmful.

Robin: And if they do? Well, we can always blame the AI for not listening to our warnings. It’s a win-win!

Panel 3

Alex (excitedly) Robin (laughing) Sam (nodding)

Alex: Let’s hope they can avoid that trap, Sam. Otherwise, we’re going to have a lot of explaining to do!

Robin: Sounds like a real mess. I guess we’d better start watching them closely. And maybe keep our biological shields up too.

Sam: Agreed. It’s a tricky situation, but Anthropic’s got their work cut out for them.
