Not sure what Scramblers are exactly, but in 2001 I came up with some ideas about how AIs could do something like anthropic reasoning, without being sentient (which eventually incorporated into UDT). Here’s the original post I wrote, which was titled no need for anthropic reasoning .
To use an analogy, it seems to me that this non-sentient site is sort of using anthropic reasoning.
So would a rock with the same inscription. Which is to say, it’s not the non-sentient site, but the sentient author and reader, who are using reasoning of any sort.
Can Blindsight-style Scramblers employ anthropic reasoning?

To the extent that anthropic reasoning works at all, it doesn’t seem like sentience should be needed.
