This post made me realize that the following fun fact: if AI were in BQP but not in BPP, then that would provide non-negligible evidence for anthropics being valid.
Could you flesh that out a bit? Is the idea that it’s just one more case where a feature of our universe turns out to be necessary for consciousness?

Yes, and a pretty weird feature at that (being in BQP but not P is pretty odd unless BQP was designed to contain the problem in the first place).
Gotcha, thanks.
