Ah, sorry, I was definitely unclear. I meant “using the concept of solomonoff induction (to reiterate; as a way of understanding what occam’s razor is) and its derivatives every day to clarify our principles in philosophy of science” rather than “using solomonoff induction the process itself as specified to compute exact probabilities for theories”, no one should try to do the latter, it will give you a headache
Not actually being useful is a fatal flaw. “Here is the perfect way of doing science. First you need an infinite brain..”.

But then DDs comment about theories not having objective probabilities was basically correct .
