Interestingly, there was a 1998 paper about speculative execution that basically outlined all of Spectre/Meltdown.

I'm not sure if there was another paper in '98, but this one in 1995 may be the one being referenced: https://web.archive.org/web/20180506083456/https://pdfs.sema...

And 'cperciva found some weird stuff long before Spectre. He reported to Intel and their reply was basically “meh”.

Intel is a very different company in 2020 than they were in 2005.

Alright! What are the most significant changes they have made?

They've gone from "try to get someone fired to get them to shut up" to "offer millions of dollars of bounties to researchers". It's a completely different attitude.
