Hey @OpenAI Who is advising you on these safeguards in Astra? You are preventing people from designing qPCR assays to detect pathogens like E.coli and Salmonella. These are public genomes? https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/florida-woman-died-eating-e-coli-tainted-frozen-blueberries-publix-lawsuit-alleges @NIHDirector_Jay @RobertKennedyJr @RWMaloneMD @BrianRoemmele
