Will’s quick summary/hot takes:
- The aestivation hypothesis is almost certainly wrong. Bennett, Hanson and Riedel (2019), who appear to know some more information theory than Sandberg, Armstrong and Cirkovic, show why.
- Although this hypothesis turned out to be a dead end, this is the kind of visionary insight that could lead to a new crucial consideration [? · GW], and I applaud the authors for their endeavor.
