@tipsfromkatee I don't think this idea of "goal" is fundamental in this way. But I think legibly arguing that requires a different medium. -
@willdoingthings optimisation seems to imply goals, or what's being optimised for? - 3 more replies

@tipsfromkatee What I think of looks about as much like Chaitin's constant as it does like AIXI, but still pretty far from either.
