What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Shais Taub’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

so the big news in uh the world today is that apparently uh Bibi Netanyahu met with Elon Musk and they were discussing artificial intelligence the future of artificial intelligence and I was discussing this with a friend of mine today A friend of mine who is a schlier in the holy land and he's originally from Israel he's an Israeli and he taught me a word that I didn't know Avi knows this word you know how to say artificial intelligence in Hebrew very good very good which means manufactured or artificial or made up intelligence but it's very interesting to me that they chose to use the word BINA which is a kabbalistic term and a Hasidic term and it has very specific meaning in spiritual teachings of Judaism Bina is specifically elaborative thought Bina is related to the word which means to build like when you take an idea and you build on it that's why Bina is like associative thought when we do meditation discursive meditation in the Hasidic meditative practices it's called his or Hita bonanut has that same root word which means to take one idea and to build on it you know like a stream of Consciousness free association you take one idea let's say you take the idea like uh the Infinity of of God and then you take that idea and you think about it and it leads you from one thought to another thought that's why Bina is generally described as hameven one who understands or discerns that's probably a better translation one thing from another thing in other words there are people who know what you tell them and then there are people who can figure out they can extrapolate
