Apparently that's quasi polynomial time, which grows faster than polynomial time but not quite as fast as exponential time.

Probably, though the artist appeared to draw η (eta) rather than n which could mean they’re using learning rate to compute the bounds of some other value. I’m more curious what y-base log they’re taking and why.

It’s almost like it’s just supposed to look mathy or something.
