[1] turns out to be more subtle than people originally thought. Even assuming you can make loophole free bell tests (hey, it's been done!), the best anyone has been able to show this does -- even theoretically -- is randomness /amplification/ not true verifiable randomness. This boils down to the need for an initial random basis preparation of the qubits for which you have no true random seed.

I know some people have been working on solving that chicken and egg problem, but -- unless there's very new work I'm unaware of -- it's still unsolved.

Do you have a reference for that? I'm curious what the problem is.
