Claude doesn't like dealing with anything that is straight

If Claude code is so good why can’t it open the Strait of Hormuz

@AshWilliam1992 @teortaxesTex They probably don't need targeting data for static industrial areas

@teortaxesTex Maybe

May change later
China is still the supplier
Russia the intelligence

I wonder why Iran won't blast away Israeli desalination facilities. Degrading them to, say, 50% capacity would be a good start of negotiations.
I guess they expect Israel to just nuke Tehran in response.
So all this violence against Arabs is a bit of a displacement activity.

You almost have to admire the sheer smug complacency of people who know both the IDF and the IRGC are working overtime to drop as many bombs on the world's energy infrastructure as possible but are convinced this will have no negative effects requiring new actions whatsoever.

Nah putting pressure on Arabs still work. see how they made calls to trump and had him walk back attacks on gas fields and promise of not attacking it again and trump forced isreal to walk back also.
They will probably hit the desalination plants if their own gets hit escalation dominance and all

## 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.
