Indeed, this is part of the nightmare. It might be a hoax,

It's Dr. XXX's group at Y University in a friendly but distant country. How do you verify this? They're not going to talk to an outsider (without even any relevant academic credentials!) about their work, when they're so close to completion and afraid of not being the first to create and publish AGI.
