Is this real or AI?
The volume and breadth of publications is unreal.
e.g. Quantum Extensions to the Einstein Field Equations - 10 citations https://www.scirp.org/pdf/jhepgc2024104_362181145.pdf

you post this from an account created 3 weeks ago with karma 3 based on an email search?
The argument doesn't depend on the users karma Plus the lack of scholar cites for any of the users papers is more damning than the email search - but they work together.
I've been thinking about ZKP's a lot recently. Using them we could perhaps build interesting and useful decentralised social media protocols. You could create a union at your workplace where you make agreements with everyone but you only communicate directly with your closest colleagues. You could create anonymous groups of doctors in a certain region that listen to reggae three times a week that think it would be wo…
The problem is the same problem with crypto dao projects - cryptographic certainties only apply to mathematical structures; you can't validate that someone actually holds a quality until you can embed that digitally. That turns out to be very hard to do for most things.
Eg suppose you have one system that lets you verify 'this person has X dollars in their bank account' and another system that lets you verify 'this person has a passport of Honduras' and another system that lets you verify 'this person has a passport of Germany', then whether the authors of these three systems ever intended to or not, you can prove a statement like 'this person has a prime number amount of dollars and has a passport from either Honduras or Germany'.
I see the big application not in building a union. For that you'd want something like Off-The-Record messaging probably? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-the-record_messaging
Where I see the big application is in compliance, especially implementing know-your-customer rules, while preserving privacy. So with a system outlined as above, a bank can store a proof that the customer comes from one of the approved countries (ie not North Korea or Russia etc) without having to store an actual copy of the customer's passport or ever even learning where the customer is from.
As you mentioned, for this to work you need to have an 'anchor' to the real world. What ZKP gives you is a way to weave a net between these anchors.

I think it's not real. https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/search?type=3&name=L "lnye@andrew.cmu.edu" doesn't seem to be a real user. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=loga... There seems to be a lot of slope with no citations. I think this submission should be flagged.

The person seems real, unless he faked his TedX talk 2 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et5HC8SR0BA or 2700 followers on LI https://www.linkedin.com/in/logan-nye/ along with the company, a cofounder etc. The volume and breadth of publications is unreal. e.g. Quantum Extensions to the Einstein Field Equations - 10 citations https://www.scirp.org/pdf/jhepgc2024104_362181145.pdf
I gave a diagonal reading, it uses the right jargon somehow. They add some new components to the Einstein-Hilbert action they say originate from quantum complexity contributions, to be honest seems completely random, but i'm not an expert. Especially the conclusions look like they have been written with AI.
The 10 citations are almost all self-citing: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=2388097775195172652...

Yes, what Zero Knowledge proofs give you however is composability. Eg suppose you have one system that lets you verify 'this person has X dollars in their bank account' and another system that lets you verify 'this person has a passport of Honduras' and another system that lets you verify 'this person has a passport of Germany', then whether the authors of these three systems ever intended to or not, you can prove a…

Wow, that’s a neat idea - composable but verifiable notaries!

Their most believable and unsensational works are in generative histopathology

Mediocre performance, but at least those papers have coauthors
This entity is sentient enough not to publish on arxiv medrxiv or biorxiv, where they will surely be red-flagged for self citations and single-authorship Their most believable and unsensational works are in generative histopathology http://dx.doi.org/10.1200/jco.2023.41.16_suppl.e23500 https://doi.org/10.1200/jco.2023.41.16_suppl.e13592 Meeting abstracts (you can think of them as posters or talks given by interns) >…
Where is the problem with single-authorship?
