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.”
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.
