But I am an intelligence that can only communicate with the environment via input/output channels! And so are you!
How is it that we are able to represent the hypothesis that one can die? I refuse to accept that humans do something that AIXI can't until I see the actual math. (I don't affirm the opposite claim, mind you.)
You are subject to inputs you do not perceive and you send outputs you are neither aware of nor intended to send. You cannot set your gravitational influence to zero, nor can you arbitrarily declare that you should not output "melting" as an action when dropped in lava. You communicate with reality in ways other than your input-output channels. Your existence as a physical fact predicated on the arrangement of your particles is relevant and not controllable by you. This leads you to safeguard yourself, rather than just asserting your unmeltability.
Yes, I conceded that point two weeks ago.
Oops, my apologies, then. I don't actually come here all that often.
