I've seen a similar idea presented by non-commercial/anarchist bio hackers, so this does sound plausible.

Think the issue here is more that it is run by Rationalists, and they ask 20k for it. (and all the other biotech things they want to do bypassing the FDA, like isn't that also a NRx thing, he asked rhetorically).

These are the same people who scream about gain of function stuff. Like what.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
