Too bad. I can download an inefficient but functional subhuman AGI from Github. Making it superhuman is just a matter of adding an entire planet’s worth of computing power. Strangely, doing so will not make it conform to your ideas about “eventual future AGI”, because this one is actually existing AGI, and reality doesn’t have to listen to you.
I consider efficiency to be a crucial part of the definition of intelligence. Otherwise, as someone else told you in another comment, unlimited computing power implies that you can do “an exhaustive brute-force search through the entire solution space and be done in an instant.”
That is exactly the situation we face, your refusal to believe in actually-existing AGI models notwithstanding. Whine all you please: the math will keep on working.
I’d be grateful if you could list your reasons (or the relevant literature) for believing that AIXI related research is probable enough to lead to efficient artificial general intelligence (AGI) in order for it to make sense to draw action relevant conclusions from AIXI about efficient AGI.
I do not doubt the math. I do not doubt that evolution (variation + differential reproduction + heredity + mutation + genetic drift) underlies all of biology. But that we understand evolution does not mean that it makes sense to call synthetic biology an efficient approximation of evolution.

Even if you ran an AIXI on all the world’s computers, you could still box it.
