How about developing counters to said bioweapons? That capability should be commoditized too, IMO.

This isn't cybersecurity. You can't use an LLM to create and administer vaccines for all potential bioweapons.

Well it IS being used to make vaccines...

Yes, but it can't preemptively develop and distribute vaccines for any possible pathogen created by AI. Once they've infected everyone it's a bit late

Did you study Biology in college or at least had AP Biology in High School?

Or do you read long form content in good magazines/newspapers on vaccines, disease, etc.?

Would college biology have let me into a secret world where you can develop vaccines for viruses that don't yet exist? Ones that cover all possible variants, and where an AI can't tweak a protein or two in an engineered virus to avoid them?
