it's a visual language, partly inspired by picasso and partly by new york's street art scene in the late ‘70s — in it which he was a major player — producing work that continues to be influential to this day. i think it's definitely true to say that a lot of artists working on the street today take a lot of inspiration from basquiat‘s work and his attitude to public space. when he made his work on the street, he particularly made it around the soho district where the galleries were. he wanted his work to be seen by the media, by the galleries. he was a man with a plan? i think he was a man with ambition. he became a well—known character on the scene. he started to make drawings, he made friends with andy worhol and then, as he turned 20, made the very tricky transition from street artist to fine artist. he saw that his art career was just going to be, you know, massive. he knew that. he knew he was going to be famous from the very beginning, the first time i spoke to him. the rest of us, we were like making our art and trying to impress the other 300 or 400 people that were dow

it is a visual language hardly -- partly inspired by picasso and partially inspired by new york's street art scene of the 1970's, producing work that continues to be influential to this day. >> i think it is true to say that a lot of artists working on the streets today take a lot of inspiration from basquiat's work and his attitude towards public space. he particularly made it around the soho district, where the galleries were. he wanted his work to be seen by the media, by the galleries. >> he was a man with a plan. >> i think he was a man of ambition. reporter: he became a well-known character on the scene. he made friends with andy warhol, and then, as he turned 20, made the very tricky transition from street artist to fine artist. >> he saw that his art career was just going to be massive. he knew that. he knew that he was going to be famous from the very beginning, the first time i spoke to him. the rest of us were making our art and try to impress the other 300 or 400 people downtown in the arts scene. basquiat was looking way past that. he was looking at global domination. report

that's a picasso from a different generation, you know? you just got to respect it. >> reporter: indeed the oakland library may have murals in its future. in oakland don ford, kpix5. >>> a story that sounds like the plot of a spy thriller comes to life. coming up a california man's scheme to sell secrets to the russians and now he used a popular tv show as inspiration. >> a robber walks into a starbucks and a customer enjoying his latte takes action, why the robber is now saying he's the real victim here. >> you can believe it. patriots quarterback tom brady said he's faster now than he was when he first started playing the game of football. now he's sharing his secrets. our collaboration with pg&e is centered around public safety. without pg&e's assistance, without their training we could not do our mission to keep our community safe. anytime we are responding to a structure fire, one of the first calls you make is for pg&e for gas and electric safety. it's my job to make sure that they have the training that they need to make the scene s

i mean, iam not at all saying i am like picasso. but i haven't been able to give up because i don't want to give up. and i don't carry on because i need the money. i don't carry on because i want fame or whatever that is, or notoriety. i mean, i have gone through many persona, as one does. i am sure you know only too well. and that's part of the process of actually having an obsession, which i think is the most blessed thing you can have, myself. when my children say to me, "what shall i do when i grow up?" i am really worried. because i don't know what they should do. they have to find out what they should do. and i certainly don't say, "well, come into the theatre." i certainly don't do that. i say the opposite. sir peter hall, we have to leave it there, but thank you very much for being on hardtalk. hi there. the weather's going to stay unsettled and showery for the next few days. certainly cooler for the weekend, as well. the area of low pressure with the first named storm of the autumn season working across to europe. that's ai

yeah i mean i'm not a picasso but i have my own you know i own thing man techniques and i'm very creative in that way you're a great thinker so i afford one what was your experience like working on american horror story freak show how did you like working with ryan murphy you know i had met ryan prior to booking the show and he didn't direct any of the episodes we were norland so i had met him but working with the whole cast was incredible sitting across the table from just going and trying to hold my composure with like. it was really the whole experience was magical being in new orleans for months at a time and i worked with them on the o.j. simpson yes he did in the hemingway was my director all right murphy didn't direct the scenes i was in right but they are very talented group. geniuses and now christopher starts ask you a world with a lot of well known names as anyone ever left you starstruck you know i met john tutorial at the globes and on the carpet i was like. i don't know what to say to him and i'm usually full of words so yeah john titor offers the william an organ whatever s

pablo picasso once said computers are useless all they do is give you answers. that underscores the humans are great at doing that but there's something more important which is asking the right questions and deciding what our values are and what we want to focus. not only are they going to be important but i could tell you that and say it is more important going forward because as we get these powerful tools, what does that mean come it means we have more power to shape the planet and change the world. that means what he decide to do is more important than ever before. when you don't have very powerful tools, you can't do much and now we can do amazing things. we can slow things up, create vast prosperity. we have to think hard about what our values are and the shared prosperity. we can leave them flat behind. so the values question is absolutely essential if something we ended the first and second book with. i think that your question is something that we really do need to focus on. >> we have one more question. >> i have a question about the networks and i don

in 2011, business insider included you in "16 of the smartest children in history" alongside mozart, picasso, and the chessmaster bobby fischer. this forve been doing quite some time, be your only 21 years old. >> yeah. amy: i'm wondering about the climate you find yourself in right now, so to speak, the climate going to the top of the country, to president trump, who talks about c climate change asa hoax perpetrated by the chinese. how does this affect your work and your colleagues work, your friends? >> a few things on that. i grew up in a rural town in connecticut where climate change was a very taboo topic. when i go home, i think it still is. i think that is one of the things that has pushed me to this kind of research.. i think in the context of not just the current administration, but the current challenge that we face in terms of communicating science to the public, it i is incredibly important that we are transparent and honest about sort of the full impacts of, change, the fact that maybe one or two parasitic extinctions are good, but the majority is bad. i think that level of tran

they probably like picasso paintings too or whatever. it doesn't devalue the paintings. is there something inherently wrong with the song? >> no, what i'm saying is there no mike we should know the real history to the song because it's so central to these controversies that we have. >> tucker: this is why this is why there is a hole in your logic progression. you think they like the song for racist reasons? >> what they were trying to do is send a message and this is the same motivation that led to "the star-spangled banner" being designated the national anthem. the same motivation that led to, for example, the statues to men who took up arms against the constitution. >> tucker: the point is -- >> let me finish your. it's a subtle point. the point is that this kind of racism is baked into some of our public symbols. we are at a time now because we have a president who says white supremacists are good people, neo-nazis are good people. >> tucker: there's nothing inherently -- there's nothing racist about the star-spangled manner. that's the point. you are implying to some

valued, and that one value is not predicated or dependent upon whether or not they would be the next picasso, or whether or not they would have been a great wall street banker. i just wanted to lend support to that argument. hello, i have been interested in decision theory, and i see a lot of what you are saying has a lot of implications for a very broad discussion. to your comment about behavioral sciences and technology as a means of addressing some of the issues you have raised. i have been attending a series on some of the drawbacks of the uses of technology in identifying culpability and so forth, as well as following the replication crises of those 100 used forhat were replication purposes. i am wondering, whether you would not have some caution about the uses of findings and behavioral sciences, because there is a broader problem of these statistics that are used, the measurements used to word these findings. i think that, i am a little bit worried, because even in your sciences, the finding is that they are very sketchy and many findings are false, actually. wanted to know what exact

still value in the one's value is not predicated or dependent upon whether or not they were the next picasso or would have been a great wall street banker. i think i want to name it's important to hold both of those at once. >> i've been interested in decision theory and i see a lot of what you're saying has a lot of implications for a very broad discussion. but specifically to your comment about behavioral sciences and technology as a means of addressing some of the issues you've raised, i have been attending a series on some of the draw backs of the uses of technology in identifying cull pa bi pa. as well as the 100 studies that were used for replication purposes. and i'm wondering whether you wouldn't have some caution about the uses of the findings and behavioral sciences, because the there's a broader problem of the statistics that are used the measurements used of towards these findings, and i think that i just i'm worried because in even the neurosciences the finding is that they're very sketchy and many findings are false, actually. so i just wanted to know what exactly your driving
