Well, this is an entire community that just uses mathematicians (Bayes, Solomonoff, Kolmogorov, etc) as name-drops while having very, very little clue about any of that, just some general very foggy idea. I’ve seen that behaviour elsewhere before. Some dude would e.g. read about Godel’s incompleteness theorem and then talk how humans must be capable of hypercomputation if they understand that theorem. Passed for a local genius theoretician.
