Do you think this adds anything to this discussion at all?
Did you even take the time and effort to read my comment?
Lots of people are really, really disgusted by billionaire sexual offenders/pedophiles that won't pay for their crimes. And then another bunch get mad at people defending those criminals.
His involvement made a lot of good reputation go away for me and if anything real comes out of this, he needs to pay.
Doesn't change the things he might be able to say about AI though
It doesn't change for you, because you give a powerful multibilionaire criminal the benefit of doubt. We all know he won't be condemned. So it is your decision to only hold him accountable WHEN he gets condemned. Well, you will keep getting outrage from people that think this is a shameful behavior. I hope this thread helps you not be surprised next time.

Some people don't think pedophilia is such a big issue. Most people think someone associated with Epstein should not get public attention much less credibility.
I'm not surprised per se that people act like this, i'm surprised that someone on hn is not capable having a proper discussion about it and being very unreflective.
Its not that i have any impact on the world.
And yes pedophilia is a big issue, that doesn't mean i can't hear what someone like bill gates says especially as it cost so little to read a website of him.
He is not an actor were I stop going to their movies. For one german actor for example i wrote an email to a theater because they still had his picture on the wall.
