I provided two senses of "subjective" and #1 contains within it the only
notion of "objective" that may reasonably be applied to anything -- and it
corresponds to Solomonoff Induction.  So if you want to argue that you are
doing something "objective" it must comport with that notion as formalized
within AIXI.

Yes we can in the sense of Hume's Guillotine and "objective" as described
in:

and the point is argued by Brian Smith in "The Promise of AI Reckoning and

I don't know who Brian Smith is. I strongly suspect he's "in the weeds" I
