OHHH I think there’s just an error of reading comprehension/charitability here. “Randomly sample” doesn’t mean without a simplicity bias—obviously there’s a bias towards simplicity, that just falls out of the math pretty much. I think Quintin (and maybe you too Lucius and Jacob) were probably just misreading Rob Bensinger’s claim as implying something he didn’t mean to imply. (I bet if we ask Rob “when you said randomly sample, did you mean there isn’t a bias towards simplicity?” he’ll say “no”)

I didn’t think Rob was necessarily implying that. I just tried to give some context to Quintin’s objection.
