gollark: (not in the SCP universe, but in general, I mean)
gollark: I think that's been done a lot already. I liked https://qntm.org/ra, which is basically that.
gollark: I suppose you could argue that it isn't really relevant, since it can't run in the actual universe.
gollark: It also can't model itself.
gollark: It's an (uncomputable) algorithm which is boundedly worse than the best (computable) algorithm to infer things and it's arguably general intelligence.
