Absolutely superb explanation! Delivered with logic, clarity and excellent sequencing and pacing. (But I have to agree with @itsmrill - a "what" machine?)

At the end the video says AIT 'defines' information. I do not see much explanation of what information is, in this definition. Rather, it seems to me that instead, it 'quantifies' information.

I also do not understand whether the quantity of complexity and the quantity of information, are the same thing - just as randomness and information are distinct; a completely random object, can have only one meaning, if and when it is ascribed as a label, giving it a one to one relationship only with the thing named, which also means that the information it carries is the smallest possible quantity of information. In the end, you can have a very complex, random object, which has only one bit of information.

How about a measure of randomness based on the amount of work needed to generate it - the work that is needed to generate an outcome, an outcome which is also irreducible ?

If you find the time to parse the above -- thanks. And thanks for the video..
