Such a great article. Great summary of the historical context. So much interesting stuff happening in syn bio, and I agree with you that the very rational bioinformatics/computer science angle leaves something to be desired: the creative messiness and poetry of life. I like your idea of vibing biology. :)

It's incredibly cool that we're doing this but please can we build utility-scale molecular sensing before this goes too far?

This is a well-written article that explains the significance of digital genome generation in achieving a realizable, functional one. Your analogy with image generation tools is spot on.
