Hmm. One infinity machine can simulate an infinite number of infinity machines, right?
So, I'd go in armed with all the data I could gather on physical constants and laws.
I'd then code up a simulation of the physical world. I can make the efficiency as sloppy as I like, since I have infinite computing power. All I want is accurate.
Finally, let's assume that any sufficiently advanced society will eventually create a working artificial intelligence.
Then?
Evolution, baby. I want to walk out with a disc (or discs) which contain the code for an AI, as evolved inside a virtual society evolved inside the simulation of the physical world.
I can run an infinite number of these simultions, and specify some criteria relating to artifacts of civilisation (objects of more than a certain weight remaining in the sky for more than a certain time, for instance, would let me know when they invent planes) that will let the Machine present me with only the civilisations which are making good progress.
