Hutter's proof that Occam's Razor (in a certain form) is key to intelligence

1) a specific definition of what "intelligence" is

2)  a restriction to intelligent systems with a huge amount of computational 
resources

as well as

3) an assumption that the universe is in-principle computable

To me, personally, 2 is the biggest worry.  I'm willing to accept 3 as an 
interesting working hypothesis, and 1 as a guide for ongoing work, but it seems 
likely to me that for intelligent systems with feasibly modest computational 
resources, other fundamental principles are required along with Occam-like ones.

No, Hutter does not say (2). AIXI says that optimal intelligence is not 
computable at all.
