Arxiv interview of the scientist who wrote the paper in this bet. https://sciencecast.org/casts/u1mlp8tkn7w4

In the interview he says that ten groups in China communicate via social media (a message board) on the topic of LK99 variants and room temp superconductors. He is confident that there will be replication from those or other sources
