I’m curious as to why you think this since I mostly believe the opposite.
Do you mean general “induce an organism to gain a function” research (of which I agree shouldn’t be opposed) or specifically (probably what most people refer to / here) “cause a virus to become more pathogenic or lethal”?
Edit;
Your comment originally said you thought GoF research should go ahead. You’ve edited your comment to make a different point (viral GoF to transhumanist cognition enhancement).
I think they’re talking about AI gain of function. Though, they are very similar and will soon become exactly the same thing, as ai and biology merge into the same field; this is already most of the way through happening.
This introduces some interesting topics, but the part about “AI gain of function research” is false. I was saying nothing like that. I’ve never heard “gain of function research” be used to refer to AI before. I was referring to biology, and I have no opinion whatsoever on any use of AI for weapon systems or warfare.
