Problems of a Jewish AI

September 15, 2010

Future Jewish post-human minds are going to have to turn to their post-human Rabbis and ask:

• Is running on Shabbes considered a violation? Or does that count under Pikuach Nefesh?
• How do you circumcise? Drop the least significant bit?
  
• Do you have to switch to a UPS for Yom Kippur?
• Is an MP3 of a Shofar good enough?
• Where should the Tefillin go? The boot sector?
  

Can you think of others? Better clear these things now, before all uploadees count as Apikoros :>
