This line of thinking is quite confusing to me. If you keep following it then ultimately we must reckon with the reality that we only experience time in one direction. While it might be technically true that "there is only so much you can do with that" I think it might also be a completely useless statement to make.
I think it provides a necessary pointer to the idea that we will need more than prediction to make a viable general AI - that the prediction model is useful, but has fundamental limitations.
