Super-recursive fractal of not-even-wrongness

A BlueSky thread by Mat G on Skyview

I went into a rabbit-hole yesterday, looking into the super-recursive wikipedia article we first sneered at here and the revisited in Tech Takes. I will regret it forever.

You can view my live descent into madness, but I reformatted the thread and added some content in a more reasonable form below. Note that there is plenty that I didn't have time/wine to sneer at in the article itself and then in the amazing arxiv-published "paper" that serves as an underpinning.

Content warning: if you know anything about Turing machines you will want to punch Darko Roglic straight in the control unit near the end.
