I think Eliezer’s definition still basically makes sense as a measure of optimization power, but the model of optimization which inspired it (basically, optimization-as-random-search) doesn’t make sense.
Though, I would very likely have a better way of measuring optimization power if I understood what was really going on better.

I think I agree about Eliezer’s definition, that it’s theoretically correct, but I definitely agree that I need to understand this better.
