I stand by the first quote. Every working solution can in a useless sense be seen as a form of SI/AIXI. The sense that a hot-air balloon can be seen as an approach to landing on the Moon.
And now you’re down to arguing that it’ll be “very useful, but not AGI”.
At the very most. Whether AIXI-like algorithms get into the next edition of Russell and Norvig, having proved of practical value, well, history will decide that, and I’m not interested in predicting it. I will predict that it won’t prove to be a viable approach to AGI.

How can a hot air balloon even in theory be seen as that? Hot air has a specific limit, does it not—where its density equals the outside density?
