> what should be done about open weight bioweapon

The same thing we do about bomb making today, certain ingredients are restricted and/or monitored. Bioengineering is a bigger lift to operationalize.

In other words, don't ban knowledge, make certain applications or ingredients illegal or highly regulated.

I was referring to non nuclear bombs like c4, artillery shells, and missile payloads
