AIXI was neither invented by MIRI nor have they proved any nontrivial theorems about it. AIXI is Marcus Hutter's work: http://www.hutter1.net/ai/aixigentle.htm


Indeed!

From a superficial inspection, Hutter's back catalogue features 89 * @inproceedings, 3 * @book, 12 * @techreport, 51 * @article, and 1 * @compression prize

Over an elapsed period of '87 (from before he had completed his masters degree) to the present, on a published_artefacts/year basis, Hutter is more productive than MIRI.


What’s up with this publish or perish nonsense? If you are concerned that MIRI works on problems that are disconnected from reality, then read their papers and provide a thorough analysis.


Of course, how many of those publications are Yet Another AIXI Paper?
