Reminds me of https://timeai.io/ https://timeai.io/ I thought these companies only existed in movies... But obviously they got their inspiration somewhere. (Yes 'they' can intentionally be read both ways)

That website looks and reads like they’re selling some high end Breitling or Patek Philippe

    One of the articles mention he speaks at something called CPAK which looks like some psuedo-science new agey non-sense forum: "Conference of Precession and Ancient Knowledge". https://cpakonline.com/ https://cpakonline.com/ Robert Grant is listed as a: "Polymath and Expert in Sonic Geometry" I love this stuff, look at all of the listed "experts" each with books published ("Sacred Cosmology of Ancient Egypt"). Humans are so weird.

"...and most notably mathematical constants to generate entangled key pairs." That reads like it was generated by gpt-2.

Clicking around a bit, I ended up reading https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.08570 https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.08570. It's describing an apparently faster way to identify prime numbers. Looks pretty legit to me, but still, reading the website, there's something... not quite off, but still... quirky, in a way I can't put my finger on. :/ TL;DR, what do others think of this paper?

    Oooh, nice. Thanks very much :) Followed that to attendee recordings of the talk, and was not disappointed.

  Dunno about the paper, but the design is trying way too hard. All those faux-meaningful graphics, the 3D rendered vitruvian man, that the company is called ‘Crown Sterling’ and the logo is a metallic griffin, means that it’s likely that they’re at least 80% woo. Similar to a company that peddles pain relief patches which use the power of quantum harmonic energy to transmit healing bio-activated energy or whatever. Funnily enough, the people behind the former also sell the latter.
