I downvoted not because of what was said but because the tone was unnecessarily rude.
The evidence here stands strong and firm over the tone, emotion or reaction I'm afraid.
The claim is either backed by reliable sources or not and claims can be simply dismissed if there is little to no evidence presented.
In this can, the grandfather comment failed to provide any and can be instantly dismissed.
You are unable to challenge my claim, yet you present a baseless one with ZERO evidence, yet I get downvoted, flagged and silenced by those who can't refute my argument. Gave plenty of time for you to present some links.
I thought this site was for those who can present reasonable arguments with the facts involved. Seems like I am mistaken once again by the fanatics of this site. Unsurprised and very disappointed.
As for me, a very easy and well documented list of attendees in Epsteins "private jet log" which has the name and profile Minsky, Marvin: MIT professor and pioneer of artificial intelligence. documented. [0] Undeniable fact there, and he got a HN black bar, which is why I don't think anyone should have one if everyone is going to be held to such high standards. No angels are in that black book.
Now the burden of proof is on YOU to prove that it was "staged". Unless you and the attendees know something that everyone else doesn't.
How's that for "specific"?
