Well that didn't take long. I had hope for like what... two days?

It's a different paper (e.g. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05294-9) from a different researcher (specifically Ranga Dias). This is not connected to the recent non-peer reviewed https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.12008

That's good to hear. I'm still suspicious of anything that sounds like room temperature superconductivity but it's nice to know the jury's still out and there's maybe hope.

This is a different guy, I think?

It is. Completely different guy, completely different superconductor.
