Recent discussion w/ @CoBuddha made me suspect that resource consumption, not description length, should be the measure of complexity

@The_Lagrangian@CoBuddha should it *replace* it as a measure or exist alongside it? also resources strike me as less 'basic' a concept1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@allgebrah@CoBuddha resources are primitive if you assume that the point of a model is to be used by an actual reasoner...1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@allgebrah@CoBuddha "how quickly I can arrive at this answer" is a more fund measure of complexity than "how much file space it takes"1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@The_Lagrangian@CoBuddha yeah you're definitely looking at some variation of levin then consider planetary brains & low bandwidth channels1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@The_Lagrangian@CoBuddha they will weigh "time to come up with X" against "time to communicate X", other weights than a pure reasoner1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@The_Lagrangian@CoBuddha I don't know how much theory Vinge put behind this but this concept features prominently in "a fire upon the deep"2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@The_Lagrangian@CoBuddha the AIs have different protocols with different complexity/bandwidt trade offs and switch to less complex ones1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@The_Lagrangian@CoBuddha when there is imminent threat of exploitation, e.g. through the Blight1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@The_Lagrangian @CoBuddha think "running an emissary in your hindbrain" vs "text only, interpret only with human level reasoning"
