IIUC, Yudkowsky’s epistemology is essentially that Solomonoff induction is the ideal of unbounded epistemic rationality that any boundedly rational reasoner should try to approximate.
I contest that Solomonoff induction is the self-evident ideal epistemic rationality.
Seconded. There seems to be no reason to privilege Turing machines or any particular encoding. (both choices have unavoidable inductive bias that is essentially arbitrary)
