Yeah, I think unless the authors are deliberatly misleading the public (which is of course a possibility, though not very likely I think) it is hard to imagine a scenario where all of this won't turn out to be highly interesting in one way or another (even if it might turn out to not be a superconductor)

I really doubt there’s intentional fraud here, but they were forced to publish (or pre-print to be pedantic) early. [0] This certainly led to less rigor.

That Twitter user is making up details and writing a fan-fic: https://twitter.com/8teAPi/status/1686217806298423299?s=20

So you won’t find any other sources, other than other people who have also been misled by @8teAPi.

Frustrating because it’s also chaotic, trying to keep the events straight.

This is hilarious. I love that @8teAPi did this, hopefully it knocks some sense into people.
