AI Conversations: The AI Agent as a "Shabbos Goy": Technical and Halachic Perspectives

The AI Agent as a "Shabbos Goy": Technical and Halachic Perspectives By Jack Bibi The "AI-Human" Dialogue: This article is a transcript of an in-depth conversation between Jack Bibi and Gemini AI . It explores the technical feasibility and halachic implications of high-level home automation. Note: This is for educational and theoretical purposes. For practical Halachic rulings (Psak Halacha), please consult an Orthodox Rabbi. JB: I’m a Machine Learning Engineer, and I know that AI is fundamentally a probability engine. If I add an RNG (Random Number Generator) layer to my smart home—where a sensor only triggers a light 80% of the time—does that "uncertainty" make it permissible on Shabbat? Gemini: It’s a clever engineering "workaround," but it hits a wall called Psik Reisha (Shabbat 75a). In Halacha, if an action is virtually certain to ...

AI Conversations: The 2026 Asset Realignment: Gold, Silver, and S&P 500

The 2026 Asset Realignment: Gold, Silver, and S&P 500 Editorial Note: This article is based on a data-driven conversation between Jack Bibi and Gemini AI . All 2026 data points reflect current market spot prices. The Rule of 72 Comparison The 55-Year Catch-Up: Are Gold and Silver Finally 'Paired' with Stocks? Gold is at $5,050 today. Looking at the starting points ($35 for gold in '71 and $1.29 for silver in '65), it feels like they stayed low for a long time. Why are they suddenly moving now? Gemini: For decades, the world was "long on trust." High interest rates in the 80s made holding metal expensive, and central banks actually sold off their reserves in the 90s because they thought gold was a "relic." Today, that trust is shifting into a fear of debt and a need for real materials. Let's look at the math. If we apply the stock...

What track is my train on?

If you have ever walked into Penn Station, you know that it's a nightmare. Thousands of people waiting around, eyes glued to the TV screens, waiting to see what track their train is going to be on. As soon as a track number is put up on the board, there are two different reactions. Either you are thinking "That's my track! Nobody else matters and I don't care who I run over as long as I get to my track" or you are on the other side thinking "Why can't that be my track? Now I am getting trampled and I'm not gonna be able to see what track my train is going to be at". A few weeks ago while waiting for my train's track to be posted, using my undeniable charm, I got friendly with a former-conductor. After talking for around 10 minutes, he saw my restlessness to get a good seat on my train. He calmly asked "What train are you taking?" to which I responded "The 7:05 train towards Bay Head". I immediately saw a grin start to fo...

How much am I worth?

How much am I worth? How much am I worth? The hardest part of job hunting is when the recruiter turns to you and says “So, what kind of salary are you looking for?” How much am I worth? The hardest part of job hunting is when the recruiter turns to you and says “So, what kind of salary are you looking for?” At this moment my heart dropped and I started to flip through the story of my life. “I won that award that time, plus $800”, “I fell off that slide when I was 3 years old, subtract $2k”, “I am 22 without a job, subtract $5k”, “I have not read more than 12 books in my life, subtract $10k”… I realized that when put on the spot, I only think of the negative parts of my life instead of all the great things that I have done. I realized that this would be a great project to create. A model that can take in either a resume or a job posting as an input and the output would be a salary or salary range. I decided to use Google Jobs as my source of jobs. This is ...
