The subjectivist view of epistemology that a lot of ideal formalisms like AIXI/Solomonoff Induction/Bayesian updating/learning is actually correct, IMO, and the human intuition here is wrong in the general case here for 2 reasons:
It is assumed that they are logically omniscient, in the sense that they know all logical consequences from a set of axioms, and thus Bayesianism already incorporates all the objective truths as part of it’s design.
Objective physical laws where physical laws are the same regardless of where you are in space or time in general don’t hold, and only in special cases do they hold, like our universe (pretty likely that it does hold), and in these situations, different physical laws/actions can affect different agents, meaning that their probability estimates don’t agree with each other, and you can’t assume that if an action is available to you in one context/space, it is available to any other agent in the shared multiverse.
So in general, epistemology must always include a view from somewhere for all empirical facts, because you can’t assume objective physical laws in all situations.
