So far, definitively, just the Beijing video. No one's made that much of LK-99. So far, best I can tell, there's a few small flakes here and there that seem to have the correct atomic configuration. Whether that specific material is actually a superconductor is also, to my knowledge, up in the air. But, it is still a possibility.
From everything I've been reading, it's supposed to take longer to say for sure there's definitely not any room temperature superconductor here. Whereas, an easy positive outcome could have been shown much more quickly. There's supposed to still be a narrow path for a very specific atomic configuration to pass the tests, and until that has for sure been tested one way or the other, and the atomic configuration confirmed, it's undecided.
Well here's hoping, it'll be a huge win for humanity if it works out and is, indeed replicable at any kind of scale. We haven't had very many winds as a species recently, so any victory would be great.

This fake attempt most certainly isn't up in the air
The chances of "small flakes"being aligned in the order the original authors claim are needed to make the material super conductive, is 0. If the orientation of atoms is as important as it needs to be to have this revolutionary new super conducting method, you're going to have it a few atoms thick at a time, not small flakes. Especially when the fabrication details are as loosely detailed as they were.
Unknown, wait for more results, they'll have proper results in a few weeks.
Is it just the Beijing one that's bull hockey or is the whole material itself bologna?
It’s all bologna. Recent developments point to LK-99 being a ferromagnetic semiconductor, not a superconductor.
