Also the hivemind seems to have taken against tweetsXeets, a stunning reversal from last year when St. Elon was gonna usher in a new Dawn of civilized discourse.

This Twitter post from the guy who was synthesising the stuff in the US seems convincing: https://twitter.com/andrewmccalip/status/1689476909208600576

Not a superconductor - the hints of superconductor-like properties were due to a combination of iron contamination in the Pb forming iron fragments which (surprise!) show ferromagnetism & Copper Sulphide which shows a very similarly anomalous temp/resistivity profile (but is not a superconductor).

The most likely outcome (i.e., not a superconductor, lab error due to honest scientists being fooled by their own experiments) seems to be probably the true one.

Hard to say if it’s violent disagreement or that the link is perceived to be “broken”.

I’m wryly amused that of all people, the rats putting their dismal hopes into the prediction markets not going to zero are the ones screeching about scientism.
