The LK-99 Effect

In July 2023 a copper and lead based supposed room temperature super-conductor, a material that could revolutionize technology, was proposed by a Korean laboratory, and this lead to a scramble of informal publications by authors from that laboratory trying to claim the work and some quitting their jobs. LK-99 was a dud. This process of prominent scientists losing their sh*t over something which most others in their field believe isn't true while the public is riding the hype train is referred to in some circles as "The LK-99 Effect".
The rumor is that Sam Altman was fired from OpenAI because of his believes about a artificial general intelligence. This is a clear example of the LK-99 Effect

This person is the most wonderful person you will ever meet. Absolutely hilarious as well. An extreme amount of rizz. Could get with anyone.

Hates beads in stuffed animals, though, so don’t have those.

“Bro hide your stuffed animal LK hates the ones with beads in them”
