I'm not sure why the stream quality is so low, I spent a while selecting 4k. I'm able to make out the text and you should be able to as well.

This stream will run for about 24 hours or so.

You can see the collision of MD5 that it made here: https://stateofutopia.com/experiments/md5collider

it's made what it calls a FUNDAMENTAL DISCOVERY, writing:

"FUNDAMENTAL DISCOVERY: dW[8] = -dW[0] always (exp059). This is a structural invariant - dW[8]=0 is provably impossible, making 24 the hard theoretical wall."

Not sure what it means but I trust it when it says it made a fundamental discovery, since it has reviewed all the literature.
