> **Visual Context:** The image shows a 3D protein structure with a red-and-white checkered "Raygun" watermark pattern overlaid on dashed "Watermark" boundary lines, visually illustrating how DeepMind's SynthIDBio protein watermark signal (the checkered pattern) could be washed out while still preserving the underlying predicted protein fold. The diagram accompanies a post arguing that protein sequence watermarks offer little real biosecurity benefit, as the watermark can be stripped away without compromising the protein's predicted structure.

> "Biosecurity is too important for security theater. 

In a quick test with Raygun, we found that DeepMind's SynthIDBio watermark signal could be washed out while preserving the predicted structure. 

We don’t think protein sequence watermarks buy much biosecurity."
