I stopped reading his thread when I saw he was selectively quoting Scott Aaronson without the very important nuance provided by Scott, i.e., factoring 15 (3x5), not secp256k1.
Luckily, several commenters called him out on his dishonesty.

To be fair Aaronson ended up publishing a correction of sorts because his original statement was pretty misleading.

But your larger point is very valid. Carter seems to be taking a dramatic stance on this topic, for whatever reason.

factoring 15 (3x5)
I don't remember the exact details of it, but I think the reality is worse...I don't think it actually performed the factorization completely honestly....

Remember Nic is not a tech / developer. He is basically an "investor / influencer" - wouldn't be surprised if these tweets line up with some investments he's made and he's doing a lil pump action....
