What do you make of this HN-comment then? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23060010

Part of the ongoing Psy-Op, "beliver", or what?

Made me think of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_mercury :-)

Who knows?

Aha, found them.

The comments of "erewhon" (I think the same guy goes by "Tom Bedlam" on other sites) and "jvoight0205" are particularly interesting. https://m.fark.com/comments/1386759/11863499 https://m.fark.com/comments/1203844/9730116 https://m.fark.com/comments/4371964/50871026

Phew. What a ride. Dozens of wikilinks bookmarked, hours not absolutely wasted, learned some potentially useful things.

Honestly my intuition is more along the lines of something like the linked comment, but because I lack the technical acumen to for example read the patent and make sense of it my suspicion is I'm being taken for a ride. That being said the amount of money that goes to SAPs and USAPs is mind boggling, so it also seems plausible it's real. Perhaps that's the desired effect?

Also I recall a comment chain on Fark between two seemingly knowledgeable commentors that claim to be involved researchers and discuss some of the things in your linked comment, I'll see if I can find them.
