Apparently, someone solved it and achieved an 1187:1 compression ratio. These are the results:

All recordings were successfully compressed. Original size (bytes): 146,800,526 Compressed size (bytes): 123,624 Compression ratio: 1187.47

The eval.sh script was downloaded, and the files were decode and encode without loss, as verified using the "diff" function.

What do you think? Is this true?

Bogus. But a nice spoof.
In the video, it’s clear that the results were downloaded from the Neuralink website, no errors occurred, and the results are displayed correctly. Could you specify why you believe it’s Bogus?
Anyone can fake a website. Can you prove that they show the real Neuralink website?
Agreed. Just read their website marketing stuff and your scam bells should be going off.
