Why would you need it? All you need is one machine capable enough that it will run it's own alphafold-3 to correctly predict the sequence of an appropriately deadly virus, pay some lab to synthesize it and release it to the atmosphere. Or create a dead man switch to do so, at which point you have to start treating it as north korea, sooner or later it will build the capabilities it needs and release it anyway.
