AI researcher and known epstein associate Joscha Bach comes up several times in the latest epstein email dump. And it's uh, not good. Greatest hits include: scientific racism, bigotry freestyling about the neoteny principle, climate fascism and managed decline of "undesirable groups" juxtaposed immediately with opining about the emotional influence of 5 visits to buchenwald. You know, just very cool stuff:

I still say that the term "scientific racism" gives these fuckos too much credit. I've been saying "numberwang racism" instead.
true, usually i put that term in scare quotes to emphasize its fraudulence
Also appearing is friend of the pod and OpenAI board member Larry Summers!

To quote myself: Larry Summers was one of the few people I've ever met where a casual conversation made me want to take a shower immediately afterward. I crashed a Harvard social event when a friend was an undergrad there and I was a student at MIT, in order to get the free food, and he was there to do glad-handing in his role as university president. I had a sharp discomfort response at the lizard-brain level
a deep part of me going on the alert, signaling "this man is not to be trusted" in the way one might sense that there is rotten meat nearby.
I always thought he had some weird pro trumpy (“anti woke”) takes. Colour me shocked.
