It is interesting. I don't know whether it's a coincidence, but a lot of stuff does seem to have hit the forum about this general area and period.
I did wonder if there's a conference and we're seeing journalists skimming through the papers or something like that

This one seems to come from a paper published in 2025

Does seem to be uploaded to t'internet though.
