There are limitations on what such computations can do, like the halting problem. I mean, it's the ad infinitum that worries me there. The other thing that i'm not quite sure about is you say, a, entropies increasing, but knowledge and complexity seem to be increasing in lock step. That i just think not true. Am, if i take a book and i burn it, enthropy is increased, but knowledge is not increased. Information, good old accessible information, or complexity has not increased in any way.
Welcome to the March 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
