That's a silly point.
If you build a predicting machine, you don't need to predict what it's going
to do, you watch it do its thing and see what happens.
Absurd.

And my point was that you have no way, absolutely no way of knowing if
AI has a reason for doing X or not unless you simulated it on faster
hardware, and then you'd have no way of predicting if the faster machine
had a reason for doing X unless you simulated it on a even faster
machine, and then you'd have no way.
