As they say in Australia, he is cooked.

This sounds like a bad take, but for good reasons. I would like the people making AI to take really, really seriously the potential of synthetic viruses. It sounds like he's doing that (rather than working backwards from racism).

There's a good possibility that it was due to a lab leak, but it doesn't necessarily have to be synthetic. This was a lab taking too many liberties handling a virus that was already at risk of making the jump to humans, is it "lab-leak covid truther" to claim the inevitable under those circumstances would happen?
