That you are not an order-of-Kasparov chess player is the right prior, even if in fact it so turns out that you happen to be Kasparov himself. These people are rare, and you’ve previously given no indication to me that you’re one of them. But again, LCPW.
It’s not correct to assume a statement i make is wrong, based on your prior about how much I know about chess. I used my own knowledge of how much i know about chess when making statements. you should respect that knowledge instead of ignore it and assuming i’m making basic LCPW mistakes (btw Popper made that same point too, in a different way. of course i know it.). or at least question my statement instead of assuming i’m wrong about how much i know about chess. you’re basically assuming i’m an idiot who makes sloppy statements. if you really think that you shouldn’t even be talking to me.
btw i’ve noticed you didn’t acknowledge your other mistakes or apologize. is that because you refuse to change your mind, or what?

It is easily observable in this thread that you are making LCPW mistakes. You haven’t solved the game of chess, therefore the Least Convenient Possible World contains an AI powerful enough to explore the entire game tree of chess, solve the game, and beat you every time.
You could make a program like that. So what? No one gave an argument why the possibility of making such a program like that actually contradicts Deutsch. Such a program wouldn’t be creating knowledge as it played (in Deutsch’s terminology), it’d be doing some pretty trivial math (the hard part being the memory and speed for dealing with all the data), so it can’t be an example of the unpredictability of knowledge creation in Deutsch’s sense.
My initial point was merely that a statement was false. I think that’s important. We should try to correct our mistakes, starting with the ones we see first, and then after correcting them we might find more.
I saw. That’s no reason not to do the same with others. It doesn’t change that you imagined a convenient world where i’m bad at chess in order to dispute the specific details of an argument i made which had a substantive point that could still be made using other details. It doesn’t change that you misread my position in the stuff about authors. And so on.

If that is true, (and you don’t just mean that it only generated the knowledge when it solved the game initially, and is merely looking up that knowledge during the game), then I don’t care much about whatever it is that Deutsch calls knowledge.
It was not false. You were just confused about the referent of “chess AI”.
It so happens that I acknowledged this mistake.

On an absolute scale, you are bad at chess.
