Oops, guess that email WAS sent to the list, though I didn't realize it.
But no harm done!

No, I don't really think AIXI is useless in a mathematical,
theoretical sense.
I do think it's a dead-end in terms of providing guidance to
pragmatic AGI design, but that's another
story
I will send a clarifying email to the list, I certainly had no serious
intention to offend people...

Ben,
So you really think AIXI is totally "useless"? I haven't been reading
Richard's comments, indeed I gave up reading his comments some
time before he got himself banned from sl4, however it seems that you
in principle support what he's saying. I just checked his posts and
can see why they don't make sense, however I know very well that
shouting rather than reasoning on the internet is a waste of time.
My question to you then is a bit different. If you believe that AIXI is
totally a waste of time, why is it that you recently published a book
with a chapter on AIXI in it, and now think that AIXI and related study
should be a significant part of what the SIAI does in the future?
