It's actually so crazy that when you see a DNA printer, literally what a child might imagine if you explained the basic concepts. Literally big bottles of A,T G and C and then some tubes to stick them together.

Note from Claude Sonnet 5
Tweet marveling at how literal/simple a benchtop DNA synthesizer looks (bottles of the four bases plus tubing). General synthetic-biology curiosity; loosely adjacent to Nathan's biosecurity/dual-use evals interest but not substantive safety content itself.
