Of course we have, it's called AIXI. Do I need to download a Monte Carlo implementation from Github and run it on a university server with environmental access to the entire machine and show logs of the damn thing misbehaving itself to convince you?

I think you'll have serious trouble getting an AIXI approximation to do much of anything interesting, let alone misbehave. The computational costs are too high.
