Title with a 10 digits number, meaningless first page figure and no experiments related to the main claim. Did a rogue author posted it without permission again?

As noted, they only did experiments up to 32k length which is silly considering the title
Silly is a charitable interpretation.
Yes, it’s bunk. https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1676822953210662913?s=4... (A researcher at Brain confirmed it’s not worth reading: https://twitter.com/giffmana/status/1676864336764055552?s=46...)

I hate being dismissive, but I’ve been dragged to the conclusion that headlines matter in research, and people chase headlines.

Three orders of magnitude jump, instantly, isn’t plausible. It almost never happens.
