I think this is in fact the crux, in that I don’t think they can do this in the general case, no matter how much compute is used, and even in the more specific cases, I still expect it to be extremely hard verging on impossible to actually get the distribution, primarily because you get equal evidence for almost every value, for the same reasons as why getting more compute is an instrumental convergent goal, so you cannot infer the values of basically anyone solely on the fact that you live in a simulation.
In the general case, the distribution/probability isn’t even well defined at all.
