About that forum  in Rensselaerville with Asimov --
I'll only be there on Aug 4th and 5th, because of AAAI meeting
in Austin.  But I consider Asimov to be an absolutely first-class
thinker about the future of AI and worth the price of admission.

Speaking of that, when I accepted the invitation (at no fee) I was
unaware that there was a price of admission to that symposium.  I'm
sure it just covers expenses for that non-profit foundation, but I
might have thought twice if I'd known.  In any case I've gotten good
ideas from Asimov every time we've met; the simplicity of his language
may obscure his depth.
