Yes, I stand corrected. I meant *nothing* in the context in which this was discussed.
Yes trivially, if infinite computing won't cut it (some task), then finite computing power won't either. AIXI certainly doesn't prove that AGI is possible. _____ From: Shane Legg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 1:58 PM To: singularity@v2.listbox.com Subject: Re: [singularity] Apology to the list, and a more serious commentary on AIXI On 3/8/07, Peter Voss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: It's about time that some else said that the AIXI emperor has no clothes. Infinite computing power arguments prove *nothing*. That depends on exactly what you mean by "prove nothing". For example, you can use the AIXI model to prove that no real computable AGI (I'm talking finite computing power now) is able to solve certain kinds of learning tasks. I consider that a real result, but I guess you do not.
