>I think this is fantasy. It's like an informatic / learning perpetual motion machine. Learning requires input from the world. It requires training data. A brain in a vat can't learn anything and it can't reason beyond the bounds of the accumulated knowledge it's already carrying. I don't think it's possible to know without learning or to reach valid conclusions without testing or observing.
Well I mean, more real world information isn't going to solve unsolved mathematics or computer science problems. Once you have the priors, it pretty much is just pure reasoning to try to solve issues like P=NP or proving the Continuum Hypothesis.
