Is complexity objective?

Kinda. Some notions of complexity are more useful than others. However, condition your machine on some real world sense data for a while, and any reasonable prior soon gets swamped by data - so in practice, this is not a big deal.

If it was a matter of gathering enough data we wouldn't have to talk about Solomonoff induction at all.
