Bill Gates has pulled out of a keynote address at the AI Impact Summit in India as he continues to face questions over his relationship with the deceased child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The billionaire Microsoft co-founder travelled to India, where his foundation works with the government on delivering AI for social good, earlier this week and was advertised as speaking at the international summit shortly after the country’s prime minister, Narendra Modi.
But Gates suddenly withdrew on Thursday morning, hours before he was due to address delegates, including the French president, Emmanuel Macron, and India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani.
The Gates Foundation said in a statement: “After careful consideration and to ensure the focus remains on the AI summit’s key priorities, Mr Gates will not be delivering his keynote address…”
The move came less than 48 hours after the Gates Foundation had insisted: “Bill Gates is attending the AI Impact Summit. He will be delivering his keynote as scheduled.”
He should really sit down with a journalist to clear up all these wild accusations. I’m sure he can explain everything to us. Just like the former prince Andrew.
After refusing to open source the mRNA covid vaccines, everyone should have seen the monster for who he is.
He also invested in Monstanto with his foundation money, and is a big proponent of it, and other toxic pesticides, and gm plants that are engineered to take more pesticides, and owns like 5% of the farmland in the US with his stupid tax free foundation to boot. (This guy has paid like zero taxes and put it all into his foundation instead, and used that for ill ends.)
He is also involved in trying to start geo engineering, pumping masses of sulphur dioxide in the upper atmosphere to blot out the sun, and attends a conference in switzerland every year where the companies coordinate on selling their practics, running PR and overcoming public opposition, on corrupting politicians for it, etc. They’ve done some test projects too. All on the argument that they know it’s safe, because they are so smart, as if they had the date on interconnected variables to know that.
Then his intervention to prevent an open source vaccine as you mention, a vaccine that is not for profit, the very idea, Gates was afraid it would set off a chain reaction of, non overpriced medication?
The guy is delusional, he is surrounded by yes men that tell him what a genius he is, while he has bought self serving ad hoc chemical industry propaganda hook line and sinker, even as it’s blatantly untrue. He has no credibility, even before considering he was an Epstein super friend.
Once you start paying attention, Kurzgesagt videos get a little uncomfortable. It’s pretty clear how a lot of them are PR for those exact things you mentioned.
You don’t have to look further than how he quietly was just as monstrous at Microsoft as Jobs was at Apple. Was just saying the most recent claxon was not releasing the vaccine for purely robber barron reasons is so glaringly obvious to most people.
I remember a Simpsons episode where Homer sets up an internet business in his home office, and he’s going about not knowing what he’s doing and Gates shows up with a few big burly dorks. Gates says he learned he has this company, couldn’t figure out what he did, but figures he should buy him out anyway.
Homer is thinking Score! I knew it, I’m rich! Play it cool…
Gates is like, Buy him out boys! The big nerds break all of his stuff and trash the place.
They were monopolistic for sure. Everything happening in every sector of the economy started back in the 80s and 90s if not sooner. By the late 90s the die was cast. Courts and regulators were captured as well as both parties, by an alliance of investors and corporations, with any opposing influences sidelined and diminished. Anti trust, competition laws were not enforced, and it’s been nothing but consolidation of industry in every sector since, and unfair competition and market power keeping out challengers and using remaining regulations as market barriers while established players get away with murder.
First in telecommunications, then banking culminating in 1999 bank services modernization act, and the software companies followed by tech companies. They are openly flouting our anti trust laws with impunity, Microsoft has been for decades. Any anti trust has been too little too late, and adjudicated by courts they have senior high tiered leasing rights to.
What questions? He’s a rapist. His ex wife divorced his ass over his friendship with Epstein.
Read the files. Ole Bill caught VD from the Island and asked Epstein how to secretly dose Melinda with antibiotics. She divorced him when she realized he gave her VD. Before that, she was fine with Epstein.
She might have been willfully ignorant to to that point. Once she had evidence she couldn’t pretend to ignore she finally acted.
I saw reports that she spoke to at least one of the girls during her visit, wondering why she was there. So at best she stayed silent about the crimes she knew was happening.
And continues to
Not that it makes it okay, but I’m certain she has tons of non-disclosures she signed in the divorce.
Once she was actually affected by it all, she left. She was fine trucking along until then.
Humans jump through hoops to try and rationalize the bad acts of the people they like. Oftentimes that’s what it takes for them to finely admit it to themselves. What’s maybe even more important is what you do next. She has the resources to stand up with the victims, but she chose to remain silent.
She thought Epstein was about investments, but I’m not buying that.
Deceased ?
Funny how as cameras are everywhere and 4K, evidence seems to alway be blurry. Pretty hard at that distance to have that shallow a DOF. Slop.
Resolution has little to do with blurriness.
I can grab a 200MP sensor with the best lens systems and autofocus algorithms, and you’ll still take blurry pictures.
Shutter speed, steady hands, and the relative radial movement speed of the object compared to the camera is what matters.
Now, imagine this: you’re a tourist, with an average phone. Say, an iPhone 16 Pro Max. You spot a guy that looks like Epstein, from across the road or even a plaza. He’s walking away so you have seconds to: pull your phone out, open the camera, zoom in, focus on the face and take photos. How will those photos turn out?
I mean you can literally try this yourself by going out into public and replicating the circumstances. Target must be at least 20-30 meters away, and you’re starting from a resting position (not phone in hand, camera open, ready to shoot, that’s not life-like). Unless you’re a pro photographer… those photos will turn out blurry.
It doesn’t make any sense. Why keep him alive as a liability? Even in the most wild conspiracy scenarios, doesn’t killing him make the most sense?
Why should anyone believe that this, the idea that he’s alive, isn’t a distraction from the actual details which matter?
Not really a liability. A friend. Fake his death, put him away in a different country where he won’t be recognised, add some basic plastic surgery, a beard, long hair, and bam you just got away with decades of crime.
Because they don’t really care. They know a lot of us know, and they know we won’t do anything because enough people believe what they’re told.
The dead body’s ear didn’t match the living ear.
His online accounts were active after he supposedly died.
He was literally part of a global conspiracy.
His private plane went on a long flight after he supposedly died.
Remember, Trump is “the dog who never barked” (quote from Epsteins emails)
Looks like he didn’t bark again.
It’s reasonable to believe he’s alive. No hard evidence, though.
Well, your photos should certainly be hard evidence. What’s the source on those, so they can be vetted a little deeper?
your photos should certainly be hard evidence.
It’s 2026, any photos not on film are suspect.
I’m perhaps web3 could have solved that problem via metadata lineage or something. Too bad it seems to have died as a concept.
Adding every picture I take on my phone to the blockchain is an enormous invasion of my privacy, and the number of times where having a cryptographically secure hash on the blockchain to prove a photo’s authenticity is minuscule. Especially in a world where people eagerly believe the most ludicrous bullshit because it reinforces their worldview, in spite of a mountain of evidence to contradict it.
The online account things were shown to be untrue.
The chin looks way wrong for it to be the same guy as does the area between the orbital/cheek bone and the ear. Fun pics though.
The rest of the world is not as subdued in their outrage. Here in the US, the MSM has tamped anger way down.
I just read that Prince Andrew was arrested. Way to go other countries.
The Andrew Formerly Known as Prince.
UK is treating this a lot more seriously than the usa. Most countries are.
Not for what you might think.
Al Capone was put in prison for tax fraud. Thing is, he rotted away in prison.
Why do people even listen to him, all he does is hype AI.
Don’t worry, he’ll have more time for evil agenda advancement on the DL, now.
I just had someone chastise me for jumping to conclusions, just because he was Epstein pals doesn’t mean he fucked kids or knew about it.
Are there influence agents on lemmy, like paid bot supported agents pushing bullshit like on the major social media, or was this guy for real? Hard to believe someone could be for real on that, and given the impunity, and the hands off nature of their treatment, pretending they aren’t necessarily guilty because they would slaap suit them if they didn’t, they should be called out every chance we get.
Bill Gates got STDs and asked Epstein if there was an antibiotic he could give his wife without her knowing. Typical innocent person behavior.
I love that all the money he dumped trying to greenwash his assholery was all for nothing. Looks like the lessons from Warren Buffett just back fired on to that pos also. Those 2 hung around way to much eating at mcd’s trying to pretend to just be regular people. The little guys they destroyed to be billionaires need to take them down with all the dirt they have.
Are there influence agents on lemmy, like paid bot supported agents pushing bullshit like on the major social media, or was this guy for real?
Bet on it.
Edit: influence agents, that is
Everyone fucking knew. That’s the horseshit pile of excuse that the rich want you to believe.
When exactly did Trump say Epstein “likes them on the younger side” so publically?
Epstein’s parties were known to have young girls. He used young girls as currency for rapport — just check his emails with Elon Musk. When did that happen?
Tina Brown received an invite to Epstein’s party and exclaimed, “What the hell is this, the Predators Ball?” When did that happen?
When was Epstein fired from teaching for inappropriate relations with a student?
When was Epstein convicted in relation to having sex with a minor?
This was part of the lure. The rich powerful people of the world knew Epstein was the connection they needed to surround themselves with young women, like so many imagine rich life would be like. They bought into that allure, knowing full well they’d have plausible deniability if today ever came.
People like that are the entire point of the bots and paid posters. They sound convincing enough loudly enough to convince some folks there’s another option. This captures people who haven’t heard otherwise or want to believe that side because it tickles their confirmation bias or whatever. Those people continue to spread the seeded idea, and eventually a network effect takes over and makes it seem like a valid stance that came up organically.
This is spot on. And is worse than ever before.
yes, just being named in the files does not mean you participated in any of the criminal activity.
For instance members of the lab I attended at Harvard are in the files, because Someone referenced a research paper to Epstein, thus the lab and specific authors of the paper are in the Epstein database. All they did was publish an academic research paper.
However, when there are specific instances of your behavior or attendance at events featuring Sexually trafficked minors, YES you should be thought of as a co-conspirator in the crimes.
Epstein was already a convicted child rapist when Gates was being pals with him.
Maybe you are the paid bot.
Gates and Epstein had connections going back to 1992. It must be a gift to know everything without ever having to learn it though! I’m jealous.
Imagine defending these people.
