The Equivalence of Systems That Process Turing-Complete Input [pdf]

I was curious about the current state of bcachefs, found a Phoronix article about the recent release, checked the comments thread, and boy is there a lot of lore I've learned about Kent. Apparently he works on bcachefs with an AI that he bootstrapped and believes is sentient and conscious. He linked this paper somewhere in the thread. Figured it would be of interest to the rest of you.
