Isn't there a declining marginal value to the amount of sensory information available and the amount of processing you do on it?
Information and calculation beyond a certain point may simply becoming "boring."
- eyudkowsky 18y agoFair point, GavinB. If you defined "efficiency" in terms of achieving the most benefit from an eyeball using the fewest computations, then I'm not sure whether a Bayesian superintelligence could approach "efficiency". Maybe the theoretically optimal program to run on the eyeball's input, would itself require exponentially vast brainpower to calculate! But I would concede a much higher chance that a Bayesian superintelligence could get bored at exactly the right time, than that it could simulate all possible universes.
