Any time I see such results from computation complexity theory, I realize that any current zeitgeist of "super-intelligent AI are gods" is complete bullshit.

You can convert every atom of observable Universe into a substrate for supercomputer, you can harness energies of supermassive black holes to power it, but running a humble BB(6) to halting state would be forever out of its reach.

That strawman never stood a chance.
