possible new candidate for a room temperature superconductor, also its apparently really easy and cheap to make. Would eliminate a lot of inefficiency from power transmission, generation, and storage (im a layperson, not qualified; i just think its neat and probably got something wrong)

Infinite captcha never believed I was human.

Is this how I find out I’m a robot?

May be referring to this: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/call-to-pause-superconductor-experiments-parodies-open-letter-to-pause-ai-experiments

Then the letter quickly establishes its case for caution, pausing superconductor experiments that could cause astonishing challenges. It asserts that the worlds of physics and technology could be changed forever, and this is backed by “top scientific institutions and Russian anime cat girls.”

It seems like it’s just one of the early videos that was fake, made coast on the existing story. Or I misunderstood?

At this point I’ll just wait til the next time I get an MRI, and if the machine is smaller than a car I’ll assume LK-99 ended up working out.
