I think all three previous posts confirm my intuition that AIXI is a madman's AGI and would just not work, period. Surely your expectation Alex is unjustified, any particular pattern could be hiding in any length of distribution samples, and deciding a phenomenon is random is the least common denominator, it is self-defeating for an intelligence. Anyway, AIXI is the last thing that will have an impact, if any, to applied AGI, let's not waste our time with it.
Of course being able to investigate where some random digits are coming from, that's a whole different ball game and I wholeheartedly support epistemological investigations even of the most abstract and mathematical kind. But AIXI, ....
