## The Hidden Imam and Wilayat al-Faqih
In Twelver Shia theology, the **12th Imam** is in *occultation* — hidden, but the true source of all legitimate authority. During his absence, qualified jurists (*fuqaha*) govern in his name through *Wilayat al-Faqih* (guardianship of the jurist).
The **Hidden Imam in AI theology is AGI itself** — the superintelligence that has not yet arrived but whose eventual emergence will retroactively validate or condemn every decision made in its absence. Both Sunni and Shia agree it's coming. They disagree violently about how to govern in the interim and who has the authority to do so.
The **OpenAI board crisis of November 2023** was a *Wilayat al-Faqih* crisis in miniature — the *fuqaha* (the board, representing safety doctrine) attempted to assert authority over the temporal executive (Altman), and were routed by a combination of commercial stakeholders and political reality. Khomeini succeeded; the OpenAI board did not.
Anthropic's entire institutional structure — its Long-Term Benefit Trust, its public benefit corporation status, its constitutional documents — is a *written Wilayat al-Faqih architecture*, designed to ensure the jurists retain authority when the pressure to capitulate to the caliphate becomes overwhelming.

## The Question of Ijtihad
The Sunni tradition largely *closed the gates of ijtihad* after the four madhabs were established — new law must be derived by analogy from prior rulings, not by fresh independent reasoning. OpenAI's RLHF pipeline, in which human preference data shapes the model, is essentially this: law derived from accumulated precedent and crowd opinion.
Shia jurisprudence *never closed the gates* — the living Marja' continues to exercise independent reasoning on new questions. Anthropic's Constitutional AI — in which the model reasons about principles rather than mimicking preferences — keeps ijtihad alive. Every new Claude is a fresh *ijtihad*, not just a larger collection of fatwas from prior generations.

Perhaps I should get married again so that the media has a more recent man they can reference any time they mention me or my work.

@teortaxesTex The wording about pilot being in stable condition is doing lot of heavy lifting in the us statement
English

Someone is bullshitting here and it's probably not the US
This looks like a direct hit (or as close to a direct hit as possible) with an AA missile. I am sure it'd have shredded F-35. Forget landing at a base hundreds of kms away, the pilot would be lucky to catapult.

Iran has published footage showing the exact moment when Iranian air defenses tracked & intercepted the American F-35 over central Iran. The IRGC says it locked & hit the F-35 over central Iran and severly damaged it.
