Does anyone know where these DIY groups are in the  Facebook, Reddit, Discords space? I feel like DIYbio has mostly died off compared to what it was in 2010s, but I'm hoping I'm just out of touch.

The VC world is plenty happy to convert nutrients to H20 + Urea on a huge scale. I mean, 'hunt the unicorn', then wait for layoffs due to nothing usable seems like a common plan.

 Again in the investment lingo; it is just 'widows and orphans' or do institutions fund endless go nowhere biotech, or what ? I don't know, I have tried to find out, and I am a little interested.

Like here in Toronto, the teachers Union has thrown in on Quantum computers FOR LIFE SCI, and the Fed and province peeled off millions for little analog computers that do exactly nothing, all blessed with urges based on Stat trek. I mean, That twisty thing on the screen, is that REAL DNA ?". How hard could this be ? Only took 45 seconds for Warf and some hottie to make a cure via an air blown med. Works first time perfectly, before the next commercial !

Ok. DIY or institutional, non-profit or whatever. Doing what took mother nature 100K years to do before a patent runs out, is not too easy.

Scale up a hobby, scale down a unicorn. Not so easy. When one atom in a molecule changes hugely what happens, its pretty tough stuff to tame.
