So, Russian anime cat girl seems to have cooked a sample and demonstrated some of the claimed properties, although she's explicit that it shouldn't be considered a "replication". https://twitter.com/iris_IGB/status/1685731177523449856 https://twitter.com/iris_IGB/status/1685731177523449856

  I think it's what happens when you just stack all of your character points in intelligence. Smartest person I ever met is now some kind of non-binary fox person. An ivy league masters in math, does risk modeling for some mega insurance company, and lives in a kawaii fever dream while doing it.

  If you could magically erase all anime from the world, the global tech industry would come to a grinding halt :)

  It’s a meme in cryptography too. Cutting edge cryptanalysis and furry profile pics go together like steak and red wine.

Is there any reason to believe their results? While their reproduction could definitely be legitimate, there are no credentials or affiliations mentioned on their bio, except for “molecular biologist” which typically means a skill set more oriented towards organic chemistry (as opposed to inorganic chemistry, which this is about), and neither have they posted any hints as to what their methods are.

The "demonstration" is a photo of a single crumb of material inside a transparent pipette. It's claimed that the crumb is "levitating" inside the pipette, but what's stopping a random internet anon from gluing a crumb onto a pipette and taking a picture of it? I don't know about you, but if I had just succeeded in replicating a literally history-making experiment, I would perhaps take a video of it, and demonstrate how the crumb actually behaves without the support of the pipette.

  >but what's stopping a random internet anon from gluing a crumb onto a pipette and taking a picture of it? Nothing, just like nothing would stop a random internet anon from faking a video of the same thing. Even if that existed, it still wouldn't be sufficient evidence (especially given this is a different synthesis than the one in the paper), it would just be much more overblown. Wait for lab reconstructions, or at the very least, this anon's writeup, instead of following a live twitter blog and then complaining that it's not conclusive. >I don't do videos of things I intend to be writing a text from. Ever. It's bad tone. I hate when it happens to me, and I don't want anyone to share this fate. >I will put a GdPO4 bead and one of the good samples onto paper ships and film >But it will be only After I will be sure I Got It, okay? https://twitter.com/iris_IGB/status/1685930149739409408 https://twitter.com/iris_IGB/status/1685930149739409408

    "I don't do videos of things I intend to be writing a text from. Ever. It's bad tone. I hate when it happens to me, and I don't want anyone to share this fate" Ah, yes. The good old incoherent "here's why I can't do something totally normal" excuse. Looking through their tweet history, they're an insufferable and toxic troll.

      They seem to block anyone that doesn't agree that the USSR, despite not existing anymore, is still pushing progress worldwide.

By their own admission, they've messed with the prep and synthesis stages mentioned in the paper: https://nitter.net/iris_IGB/status/1685774956330635264#m https://nitter.net/iris_IGB/status/1685774956330635264#m Also, forgive me for taking this person's word with a massive grain of salt when they post stuff like this: https://nitter.net/iris_IGB/status/1686017042665582593#m https://nitter.net/iris_IGB/status/1686017042665582593#m

  huh lol ... Well she obviously has the time to tweet a lot of sh*t while being much faster than any other team on earth. She alone from the USSR must still be the primary (progressive) power worldwide ... who knows ...
