Yes, the linked post makes a lot of sense: wet labs should be heavily regulated.
Most of the disagreement here is based on two premises:
A: Other vectors (wet labs, etc.) present a greater threat. Maybe, though intelligent weapons are the most clearly misanthropic variant of AI.
B: AI will become so powerful, so quickly, that limiting its vectors of attack will not be enough.
If B is true, the only solution is a general ban on AI research. However, this would need to be a coordinated effort across the globe. There is far more support for halting intelligent weapons development than for a general ban. A general ban could come as a subsequent agreement.
