NIH Director Bhattacharya makes a damning admission, thinks it’s an own:
“Absent considerable intentional tinkering by the developers, any LLM trained using @wikipedia as an input will output nonsense biased against conservatives on any remotely controversial political topic.”

All evidence points to natural origins

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.
They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today.
They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.

My point was you made a logical fallacy, asserting that the current absence of an intermediate host animal meant that the lab leak was more likely than market origins.
You said so explicitly.
But then you denied it, acknowledging that in fact, it does not actually make the lab leak more likely.
