The intellectual history of the Muslim world is a story of two opposing schools of thought: the rationalist Mu’tazilites and the traditionalist Ash’arites. These two perspectives not only shaped theology but also defined the course of Islamic education and intellectual life.

She is the great (x43) granddaughter of the Prophet, if we can rely on the rather patchy genealogical records of early-medieval Spain.
The key connections are these:
In 1023, Abu al-Qasim Muhammad ibn Abbad became the ruler of Seville in al-Andalus.
Perhaps I’m mistaken, but where I live, people say that pursuing a PhD isn’t about gathering credentials to land a job at OpenAI. Instead, it’s about contributing groundbreaking ideas that could transform the AI landscape—and possibly make OpenAI obsolete 🤷♂️.
In other words, the brain makes predictions not just at the level of words/tokens, which is what LLMs do, but over multiple timescales and levels of representations.
Indeed, there is a cortical hierarchy that encodes information at different scales and resolutions. #neuroscience
