We've flogged this horse to death. Anyone with some CS background sees the parallels, or even is actually taught the parallels at school, and I certainly have some compression applications of my AGI work, I just don't have an AGI application of my compression work, nor does anyone else. Unless there is some secret history of AI where the pkzip guy ended up predicting the financial markets and the gzip guy morphed into Dragon speech recognition. Yes, it would be nice to estimate whatever, but nobody can even attempt my speculative questions like "how much bandwidth is needed to reverse engineer the world", that's strictly about learning the physics of the gig, no deeper learnings and creations.
