Ours is the era of inadequate AI alignment theory. Any other facts about this era are relatively unimportant, but sometimes I tweet about them anyway.

    People who call me arrogant must seriously not know anything about Jewish culture. Every Orthodox Jew grows up hearing stories about all the famous Jews who got into arguments with God, and the most admired figures of all are those who, like Moses, won their arguments.

        Like I am *way* more deferential towards moderately superhuman AGIs than a Jew is toward God.

        At least I'm readable without 2,000 pages of commentary. Have you ever looked at a Mishna?

        Just googled it up, and it seems that the structure of all Talmudic texts is kinda redundant. Like why didn't rabbis at least attempt to distill everything to a set of axioms and inference rules? 🤔

        Might this explain why Jews are overrepresented in groundbreaking science? I.e. No impulse to take the outside view because of years of status regulation slap down

        Once you turn your tribal God into a purely transcendental God, but bypass the state God of the Catholics or Muslims, the normative claims of your group don't rest on God's properties, and you become free to question all about Him without someone having to nail you to a tree.

        The irony here is that Moses was the most humble. In the halakha, no virtue is greater than the truth.

        I wonder, have you been through a lot of Rabbi Soloveitchik's philosophical writings? You're channeling Halakhic Man.

        This is something I never realized was true for me until you said it. Raised a Jew, i was told that we were the chosen people, and as such had certain obligations. But no one ever told me about arguing with God, yet I did. And still do, even though I have stopped believing
