$3,000 to fake research experience: GDM researcher slams entitled pitch
prajdabre · x · 2026-09-28
Someone pitched a service offering to outsource research experience, recommendation letters, and academic references for $3,000, appending a "please reply instead of no-reply" plea. Google DeepMind researcher prajdabre quote-posted it: "You're talking to a GDM researcher, not some hooker you want to buy for $3,000. The entitlement." The exchange exposes how academic credential fraud has reached the point of cold-pitching researchers directly.
