I wasn’t suggesting that the AI might try to calculate the reverse sequence of moves. I was suggesting that, if the cube-shuffling program is running on the same computer, then the AI might learn to cheat by, in effect, looking over the shoulder of the cube-shuffler and simply writing down all the moves in a list; then it can ‘solve’ the cube by simply running the list backwards.
I’m not 100% sure of the mechanism of said observations, but I’m assuming a real AI would be able to do things on a computer that we can’t—much as we can easily recognise an object in an image.
You’re assuming the AI has terminal access. Just because our brains are implemented as neurons doesn’t mean we can manipulate matter on a cellular scale.
(Wow, this was from a while back)

Oh I see: for that specific instance of the task.
I’d like to see someone make this AI, I want to know how it could be done.
Observe the contents of RAM as it’s changing?
