Infinite Computing Theory and AI Safety
geoffreyirving · x · 2026-07-08
The author argues that theories related to infinite computing limits—such as reflective oracles, logical induction, and AIXI—remain highly relevant.
They point out that rationalization isn't the only safety concern; the fastest path to a tractable theory of bounded rationality might begin by weakening certain infinite computing theories.
