Hi, I’m Azeem Azhar. I convene Exponential View to help us understand how our societies and political economy will change under the force of rapidly accelerating technologies.
"A fake intelligence firm, fronted by a deep fake person, laid the groundwork for the Hunter Biden conspiracy."
Are you sure about this Azeem? That line makes it sound like claims about Hunter are groundless. As far as I can see, this NBC story is a rebuttal of a pretty wild China conspiracy theory, but is that "the" Hunter Biden conspiracy, or just another one? It seems pretty clear that the Biden's activities in the Ukraine are on some corruption spectrum. Is this NBC story an attempt to confuse the American public?
Use Lobste.rs instead of Hacker news ;)

Good point. I'm not making any judgement on Hunter Biden in Ukraine, rather observing the nature/manner in which the story came to light.
