My scenario is based on the idea that someone would write code that generates an “archive” that is biologically active , like a prion or a virus or something else that has dangerous properties outside of its context as a data storage device. Not so much random DNA but very specific, targeted DNA. I mean, DNA storage means you have an advanced, high performance DNA synthesis, copying, and sequencing machine. That’s fine in general, because most people using such a machine have a concept of the risks and responsibilities. But imagine what would happen if we had millions of those machines connected to the internet with unpatched vulnerabilities. It seems like that could have some negative outcomes.
