No offence taken, I was just curious to know what your position was.

I can certainly understand people with a practical interest not having
time for things like AIXI.  Indeed as I've said before, my PhD is in AIXI
and related stuff, and yet my own AGI project is based on other things.
So even I am skeptical about whether it will lead to practical methods.
That said, I can see that AIXI does have some fairly theoretical uses,
perhaps Friendliness will turn out to be one of them?

As described (I haven't read, and probably couldn't read, the papers on AIXI, only on the list, and, when I get that far, in Ben's text) AIXI doesn't appear to be anything that a reasonable person would call intelligent. As such, I don't see how it could shed any light on Friendliness. Would you care to elaborate? Or were the descriptions on the list, perhaps, unfair?
