It’s probably fine-ish to allocate another reference to the concept, though I personally might suggest expanding it all the way out to “boltzmann brain mesaoptimizer”.
Are you familiar with restricted boltzmann machines? I think Hinton has described them as the other branch besides backprop that actually works, though I’m not finding the citation for that claim right now. In any case, they’re a major thread in machine learning research, and are what machine learning researchers will think of first. That said, boltzmann brains have a wikipedia page which does not mention lesswrong; I don’t think they’re a lesswrong-specific concept in any way.
