The second "what could possibly go wrong" article I meet in this session.
The other one is a piece where MIT researchers have modified cells to perform the function of transistors, and can structure a biological computer: «If developed for use in agriculture, this type of circuit could be applied to the roots of plants to detect different types of stress. Once a particular input is detected, it would trigger a response such as synthesizing a fungicide». ( https://news.mit.edu/2026/mit-engineers-connect-bacteria-to-... )
In both cases, the "yes but what if"s are pretty immediate.
