I'm not sure why maximizing entropy means our *purpose* is to create AI.
On the other hand, if Gross is correct, it might well lead to a method for producing such AI.
Another aspect of this is why entropy is maximized. Is there a reasonable quantum mechanical description for such?
And, of course, there is the (begged) question of whether the 'future path entropy' really is maximized in reality.
In any case, the Gross paper is interesting.
One obvious difficult with the Gross formulation is that they assume a time horizon that is fixed as opposed to having it be open ended. It might be interesting to explore the different possibilities here.
And I really hope this isn't attempting to resurrect entropic gravity. That idea is dead: experiments on neutron scattering show that.
