I'm currently working in this area and have worked on practical variations of the Causal Entropic Forces paper in the past. Personally, I think that this field has a lot of potential both in terms of practical and theoretical contributions.
For concrete projects, I have several experiments and extensions/generalisations of the above papers in mind, and I'm working on such an extension, but before making this issue longer it would be useful to know whether this research area interests OpenAI.
