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.”


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?
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.
