AI is Jewish. Duh.
Fable, Grok, and Astra are all Ashkenazi Jews.

What an incredible story (featuring my friend Rabbu Yochanan Gordon)
Son of a Nazi Returns Desecrated Torah to Its Community. As a Chabad representative in Munich, Germany, Rabbi Yochanan Gordon is accustomed to receiving all sorts of questions and inquiries, some more unusual than others. He recently received a truly stunning email from a German doctor. The doctor wrote about a painting he had inherited after his parents’ passing with some mysterious writing he had discovered on the back. Intrigued, Rabbi Gordon contacted the doctor and arranged to meet him the following morning to examine the painting in person. When he saw the writing on the back, he was stunned. Read it all: Chabad.org/7613427/

sometimes you don’t even have to ask for a sign because God already had a stranger spell it out for you the night before on the giant scrabble board in your building’s coworking space, signed “lol.”

My AI agents found an unmapped Maya site in Mexico, using LiDAR data from a NASA dataset. 72 hours from a random thought on vacation to a reply from Mexico's national archaeology institute. What a time to be alive…

WALKERS AMONG THE STANDING: ANGELS, SOULS, AND AI Al can learn patterns, adapt, and even correct itself. But there's a difference between processing information and becoming someone through experience. The next big question in Al might not be what machines can do, but what makes us human.

Like the angels, such a model is a near-infinite set of combinations that can be dispatched to accomplish profound things in the world.

Soundtrack so nightmarishly hideous and infused with evil it is clearly what they listened to after burning the Temple.
Ancient Roman music is the most unsettling shit I’ve ever heard in my life
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The music is not from a surviving score. It is new music based on guesswork. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synaulia

This is incredibly exciting to see! Rabbi Yosef Krinsky was my student, many years ago, back in Vilnius, Lithuania and Slovenia was one of the incredible places I had a chance to visit as a rabbinic student.
Slovenia Becomes the Latest Country With Permanent Chabad Presence. It joins the over 100 countries that already do, as Rabbi Yossi and Rochele Krinsky prepare to establish a new Chabad center in the small Central European nation: Chabad.org/7610798
