Andre Derain, Still Life, 1914

Daily Thoughts 08/08/2015

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook today.  I also wrote a listing for the Journal News for an event.

I read some more of Future Crimes by Marc Goodman.   This book is not just a warning about crimes, it is a warning about some of the potential dangers in the future.  Marc Goodman quotes Elon Musk about the idea that Artificial Intelligence could be more dangerous than nuclear weapons.
Elon Musk says Artificial Intelligence could be "More Dangerous than Nukes."
