With great trepidation, I’m excited to launch Sabbath Mode, a YouTube channel about religion and tech. This is a vulnerable step for me, a perpetual podcaster.
More videos coming later this summer.

Last week I attended a conference at Harvard Law School on religion and psychedelics. I left feeling energized about the state of Jewish psychedelic culture. Here's my write-up.
The guy who went to jail for using CRISPR to genetically edit babies is just regularly tweeting that he wishes he could do it all the time.
When you ask the wrong OpenAI model to give you a picture
I think about this video at least once a week.
A still image from Star Trek VI showing Camp Khitomer.
TIL that the Camp Khitomer peace accords were signed at American Jewish University
I wrote up the state of the Jewish AI conversation—which is picking up speed! Lots of goodies here.
Two weeks in, the clear media pattern appears to be that international insanity is treated as Big News while domestic government-breaking is treated as a series of minor stories.

It’s fascinating that a certain segment of the Orthodox world has identified Orthodox podcasts as a dangerous subversion of authority (and of course they’re correct). yated.com/beware/?fbcl...

I'd like an AI that will tell me if the work I'm doing could be done more efficiently with the help of AI.
If you're not hanging on every twist and turn of AI development, this is a great rundown of the last year. It's technical but within reason—and of course you can always ask an LLM for help if you don't understand something! simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/31/...
Predictions about the future of AI could not be any further apart.

Honored to be among such excellent company!
On this Christmas Eve, a new episode for you: the story of why people keep making AI models of Jesus, and why they may be more than a novelty.
I spoke with Marco Schmid, who made the AI confessional booth in Lucerne that received an avalanche of media attention.

This is such a beautiful thought from Flannery O'Connor.
I have institutional library access but I end up seeking out "other" sources for PDFs because this is just so annoying.
He's correct, and there's only one solution: go outside.
This academic detective story is incredibly well written—and the payoff is unbelievably beautiful.
As Hanukkah approaches, I continue to be tickled by the fact that I am one of the only people in the world who actually makes money off dreidels.
Hanukkah is never late, nor is it early; it arrives precisely when it means to.
Yes, but who is appropriating who
