I don’t understand the purpose behind this question. What does it take for a non-artificial intelligence to realize it? Why would an AGI be any different? What’s the meaning of “hardcoded” in your constraint, and why is it different from “learned”?
This is a hypothetical question, regarding possible (albeit not the most likely) existential risks. Maybe a non-artificial intelligence can realize it, but I’m talking about artificial because it can be programmed in different ways.
By hardcoded, I mean forced to prefer—in this case, a more complicated physics theory with false vacuum decay over a simple one without it.
