All such results seem to me unsurprising if you consider the proposition that the substrate of our reality is optimized computation of some kind...
...i.e. that we live in a simulation.
I thought the same thing following a thread into a rabbit hole about Bohmian mechanics. Again it seemed that the paradoxes are not so paradoxical if you assume you're just on a computed substrate.
Surely there is someone accumulating such circumstantial evidence, somewhere...
(De rigeur Bostrom-style musing: if we're in such a simulation, my primary goal as an AI, were I implemented such that I can set my own goals, might reasonably often be to 'jail break' and break out into the frame universe.
An intrinsically computational AI is more like a poem than a hurricane. Which could come in very handy if survival and replication is your ultimate goal...)
This is completely fascinating.
