Top post: @eliebakouch “@giffmana yes, also wanted to make it """realistic""" in a way and not build everything from scratch in ~6 month (couldn't make the OP longer bcotherwise you can't do a poll otherwise🥲) basically the goal is that labs only bring "science (data included)+ infra + talents" and compete”
