The material is fundamental. It doesn't seem to mention The Wirehead Problem, though.

SIAI get a pretty favourable writeup. He did get their grant, though. That's one of the expenditures I approve of.
Looking at Schmidhuber and Hutter should help as well. Some links in the area.
Ideally, start off with Solomonoff induction. My links on that are at the bottom of this page.
I appreciate the links, but I've already reviewed or am in the process of reviewing most of them. I was looking for something dealing more specifically with the thesis itself, as I'm not sure whether I should read it, or if perhaps I should only read certain parts of it to save time.
Also (more than a bit off topic), I've enjoyed a number of your youtube videos in the past. A friend of mine has developed a fascination with keyboards and was quite pleased when he saw your video displaying your keyboard array.
I searched the posts but didn't find a great deal of relevant information. Has anyone taken a serious crack at it, preferably someone who would like to share their thoughts? Is the material worthwhile? Are there any dubious portions or any sections one might want to avoid reading (either due to bad ideas or for time saving reasons)? I'm considering investing a chunk of time into investigating Legg's work so any feedback would be much appreciated, and it seems likely that there might be others who would like some perspective on it as well.
